How many calories should I consume daily?

Question

If I'm 14 and trying to lost a few pounds.
My BMI is just a bit over 25, so I'm not obese or anything, but still...

I DO excercise regularly, and it's helped me lose a little bit of weight, but still not as much as I want to...

Answer 1

At your age, you should consume 700-1,000 calories. May I remind you, that everyone is different, so they may require more or less. And at your age, I wouldn't worry about your weight much. Because your just at the peak of puberty, your body chemistry will change. Around 15 or so, you will start to develop physically into a womanly figure. And being a few pounds over-weight isn't bad at all, so don't worry.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats, take 300-400 calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
5-8servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water a day
5-6 small meals instead of 3 big ones (breakfast is the most important - make sure to get complex carbs like whole wheat bread, oatmeal, fruit etc)
4-6 times a week cardio for 30-50min, light weight training, many reps
no junk food, no sodas, no alcohol, no white flour (cakes, cookies, white bread, pasta etc.), nothing high in sugar (ice cream)
