If you exercise, eat more. If you are sedentary, eat less. But more to your point, that's really a criticism of the FDA guidelines, which recommends 2000 calories a day.

The FDA guidelines do not recommend any number of calories a day. The % DV is based on the recommended amounts for a 2,000 calorie diet, and there is a standard, required, footnote noting this and that actual DVs vary by calorie needs.

Soylent does not recommend any number of calories a day.
they sure do, the standard 'dosage' is 2k cals per day and they have a calculator (that you have to dig for) if you figure your requirements differ from the 2k cals per day. Nevermind the fact that these types of calculators of woefully inaccurate.
