Calorie Needs for Active Teenagers: A Doctor's Perspective
QuestionIm 14, im about 5'4 and weigh 95 lbs. If i run 2-3 miles every day, how many calories do i need?
AnswerMarissa, You are very underweight for your height. In my opinion you should see a doctor and a dietician for a complete physical and analysis of what you eat on a daily basis. This is an important time in your life when your body is growing and building bone mass for the future. You risk complications later in life, so please go see a doctor for your answer. Remember my speciality is overweight kids not underweight kids, so I really can't help you. Laura Kraemer,Slimkids.com
