United Nations FAO says the average American consumes 3770 calories for 2001-2003.

http://www.fao.org/statistics/yearbook/vol_1_2/pdf/United-States-of-America.pdf

This number is much greater than many other sources, for example the American Cancer Society, which lists it (as of 2000) at 2618 for men and 1877 for women.
