Don't they burn completely different amounts of calories a day as a baseline?

That’s purely a matter of size.

While on average men burn more calories a day, the ideal macronutrient ratios for men and women are exactly the same. Gram amaounts of each macronutrient will be different depending on the person’s weight.

If you count around a 10-20% difference as "completely different amounts". Your height, weight, and activity level play a bigger role.

I mean I'd change jobs for a 20% difference in salary so yeah I do consider them "completely different".
