2000 if you want to maintain your body. However, this includes some sort of fitness regimen. 1800 or less to lose some weight. But don't go down below 1500, it's not very healthy or pleasant:)

125 is healthy for the average woman of your height, but it really depends on your bone density, amount of muscle mass, genetics, etc. Don't focus on the numbers on the scale too much. Look in the mirror and be your own judge. If you look thin and are leading a healthy lifestyle, then don't worry about it. If you think you need to shed a few inches, then add some daily exercise and eat more healthily.

About 110-115. But it really is an individual thing. Love your body just the way it is! All of the proportions will come in time. I have had friends who were small and lumpy or tall and stick-thin at that age, and they all grew into beautiful women.

An average woman needs about 1800-2000 calories per day to maintain her weight. To lose an average of a pound per week, consume about 500 less calories per day than you are now.\nKeep a food journal to track current food consumption and see where you can trim down. Read food labels and always choose the lighter version. Every calorie counts!

Thank God someone's asked instead of blindly following the newest fad diet in the media!\n\nAn adult human being should get between 2000 and 2500 calories per day, with females sticking closer to the low side of this range and males sticking closer to the high side of it, and the food they eat should break down this way:\n\nFats-- A female should consume no more than 60 grams of fat per day, a male no more than 65.\n\nProtein-- This one can get a bit complex to figure out since the actual formula is to take your body weight in kilograms, multiply by 0.8, and convert that number into grams in order to determine how much protein you need to consume a day, then figure out how many grams of protein are in the food you eat... but since there are seven grams in each ounce of meat you eat no matter which meat it really is, and there are 28 grams to an ounce, I'm going to simplify the math.\n\nMultiply your optimum body weight (in other words, how much you should weigh it you're not overweight), by 1.45 to find out how many grams of meat you should eat.  Divide by 28 to convert into ounces.\n\nFor instance, considering my body weight should be 180 pounds, I would multiply that by 1.45, and get 261 grams.  If I divide by 28, I end up with 9.3 ounces of meat per day, which is absolutely right for someone my size.\n\nNot only do I not need any more protein than that, my body really can't use any more than that (and that holds true for everyone else, as well).\n\nGenerally speaking, if you consume between eight and twelve ounces of meat per day, though, you've got all the protein your body is ever going to use... and make sure to break that into smaller portions, because your body can't really absorb more than 20 or so grams of protein at any time.  It's very hard to digest and use... and no, contrary to the opinion of the "lo-carb" people, protein isn't the best fuel for your body, it's the WORST.  Your body CANNOT digest and use large amounts of protein, and it cannot burn it for energy under any circumstances, which is why the lo-carb diet works.  It's tricking you into eating a lot of things your body simply can't use so you don't know you're actually slowly starving to death.\n\nCarbohydrates:  An adult human should consume a minimum of 300 grams of carbohydrates per day.  Notice, 65 grams of fat, about 60 or so grams of protein, 300 grams of carbohydrates.  That means the vast majority of what you eat should have carbohydrates in it (grains, vegetables, and fruits).  Your body needs carbohydrates to burn for energy because that's what it was designed to burn, and it needs the sugar produced by them to feed your brain (it cannot consume any other fuel whatsoever), and it needs the fiber which comes in those foods to keep both your bloodstream and your digestive system scrubbed clean and running smoothly.\n\nAgain, contrary to the "lo-carb" diet people, your body cannot, it cannot, it CANNOT convert carbohydrates to fat.  NOT EVER.  It converts a bit of it to glycogen and a bit to triglycerides stored in the liver, and that's it.  None of your carbs go to your love handles, your belly, your butt, etc.  Not a single calorie of it.\n\n\nHow does this work out calorically?\n\nWell, protein and carbohydrates both have four calories per gram.  Fat has nine.  If I sat down and multiplied out the amounts I gave you, I would discover I should get the following calorie spread:\n\nFat:  585 calories\nProtein:  261 calories\nCarbohydrates:  1200 calories.\n\nThat means I should get a total of 2046 calories, and that just over 1/4 of them should come from fat... which is exactly what a doctor would tell me I should eat.  Since I can eat up to 2500 calories a day, but that I cannot eat any more fat than I already have taken into account, I can consume a bit more protein and carbohydrates just in case I want an extra snack or something... and my dietary calories stay pe

Are you looking to lose weight? If so, I would highly advise against it. If you are that little and still wanting to lose weight, it sounds like you may have an eating disorder. Now at your current weight and activity level, I would say you could easily consume 2500 calories a day. You should consume at least 2000 to be healthy since you are not looking to lose weight (hopefully) and are very active. To lose much more weight and you put your health and life at risk.

Two thousand calories is what the average adult should consume every day. You can eat even more calories than you did today and you'll still be fine.

Try the BMR/RMR and activity calculators at this website:  http://www.caloriesperhour.com  You'll need to input your sex, weight, height and age to figure out your RMR and BMR.  This is the absolute minimum number of calories you should eat.  Those are the calories needed just to be alive.  There's some good explanations on the website.\n\nAnother good website is http://www.sparkpeople.com

Here are some rough estimates for you based on your age, height and weight.  Your level of activity, build and other factors may affect these numbers. If you want more exact recommendations see a doctor or dietician.  If you want to start a diet or something you should see a doctor.  Your doctor would be better able to suggest things that are more tailored to you as an individual.  \n\nCalories about 3000/day\nProtein about 66grams/day\nFat about 100grams/day\nCarbohydrates about 459grams/day

1200 - 1500 caloric intake means that you consume that many calories in one day, whether you workout or not.

Hey bub...honestly at your age you really shouldn't worry about it.  Unless you have an issue with your metabolism, 20 years and younger, your metabolism is fast.  But if you want to cut some weight it is all about your calorie intake.  1500 calories a day for anyone and they will lose weight.  But it also depends on your activities.  Are you active alot, play sports?  Add some more calories.  Yet if you are active a lot and not just sitting around even by eating 1500 cals you will lose weight.  You can eat 1500 calories of Entinmens cake and still lose weight, but I wouldn't recommend it because your portions will be really small and you won't get the nutrients you need.  Eat real food (veggies, nuts, meats).  If it comes in a plastic package, don't eat it.  And watch the saturated fat intake.  I know you're young but when you can take a class on nutrition and you will learn A LOT.  Any questions hit me up... Lionbacker24@yahoo.com

What's your age? :/\nGender i'm guessing female?\n\n---\n\nBased upon your current Body Mass Index (BMI) of 15.6, you are currently classed as underweight.\n\nA healthy BMI for your gender and age is between 20 and 24 and a reasonable weight loss rate is 0.5 to 1 kg a week.\n\nYou should eat more darling. You should consume about 1800 calories a day, and stick to it till your 18. IT WON'T Make you fat, eating more doesnt mean you'll get fat unless you eat junk food/fastfood. Stick to good clean foods, lots of veggies, fruits, fibre rich foods(grains), and lean meat.\nYou will look better than ever.\n\nGood Luck!\n\n----\nps. the BMI link provided by "oO_lOVE_diSAStER_Oo"\nisnt a proper one to use, me having 4% of bodyfat, the rest being lean tissue and bones it says i'm overweight (LOL)

Depends on age, teenage males can take in up to 3000 calories in a normal day. After that metabolism slows, so it could be any where between 2000-3000 a day based upon his age and activity level.

Typically you should have at least 1500 calories in order to lose weight. Remember , you must eat to lose weight. And this is my assuming you are a woman. For a man I think it is 2000.
