If you are 13 and weigh 85 pounds and you are 5'1'' how many calories should you eat a day?

You should never take in less then 1200 calories because your metabolism needs atleast that much to keep working. if you take in less then 1200 your metabolism will go down alot because it will think that your going to die. a 13 year old should have 2000 calories. if you see that your getting on the chunky side, then make it 1800 but no lower. remember that your growing!!!! and dont worry so much about your weight. your 13. and you dont have to eliminate chocolate as long as you eat fruit, veggies, low fat & low calories meats, breads, and dairy =). i hope this helps =). if you have further questions go ahead and ask!! It also depends on what food you eat. If you eat healthy food then you'll consume a lot less calories with more nutrition!!
