what you're eating is perfect. anything under 1200 a day is not good for anybody because it puts your body into starvation mode. instead of burning cals your body stores them (leading to weight gain). my range is about 1200 - 1550 a day. if you are more active you want to stay towards the high end or maybe even consume more cals. if you are not very active you want to stay to the lower end of your range. but for an active 13 year old girl 1700 is perfect for you.

1700 is OK if you can count them. It also depends on your body size, natural metabolism, and level of activity.

it depends on how tall you are and how active. if you're losing weight, then don't worry. you're still growing taller and need calories for that.
