How many calories does a human burn daily, negating exercise?

I am trying to find out how many calories a human burns every day from simply being alive.

The amount someone who slept or was bed ridden for twenty four hours would use.

I found this number in the past and can't locate it now... I'm curious.

    a person under 150lbs - 50cal/hour so thats 1200cal/day

    a person above 150lbs - 70cal/hour so thats 1680cal/day

    thats if you have a good metabolism

    a little less if you have slower one
