    depends on the person, for me i can literally live on just black coffee which is no calories but it’s because i have a really small body lol

    That depends on the size of that adult.  Assume no les than 1500 for a rather small person.

    The bare minimum calories for survival is 1200-1600 for men and 1000-1200 for women.  Very low diets are possible as low as 800 if supervised by a doctor.  Read more about it on the link below.

    Metabolism comprises the processes that the body needs to function. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy per unit of time that a person needs to keep the body functioning at rest.
