how many calories should a 12 year old eat?

If you are a girl you should have 1,900 calories per day and if you are a boy you should have 2,100 calories per day. Try this if you want to maintain your weight. If you want to lose weight maybe you should eat about 1,500 calories to 1,700 calories. Try not to eat less than 1,200 calories per day because you will not be happy about it. Always remember don't skip a meal if you want to be fit. Research shows that those who skip meals are less healthy than those who eat 3 meals a day. If you skip a meal you will be more likely to eat more snacks throughout the day. I hope you are satisfied with my answer.

I do not know how many calories you should eat, but if your playing all these sports and wondering why your not losing weight the answer is muscle weighs more than fat. Their is nothing wrong with muscle but if you are over wieght  don't think it's because you fat, because it might just be your muscle that's producing most of the weight.

A 12 year old girl should eat about, 1000 calories a day. However if you are 14 you should eat 1200 calories a day. If you stay with this amount of calories a day you will suddenly fell better and lighter. Your skin will also get clearer and well more free, it will also get more soily which is better and helthier. Dont try and count the calories becasue you want to losse weight or be more healthy. You will anlyget more unhealthy. Everyone needs to eat 3 meals a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. you can or should also take a little snack overbetween when ever you want. However, try and keep the meals in a good and streight blanced time, dont eat at 11.00 in the morning on weekends for example, try and eat at 7-9 and later you can then eat lunch at the time between 12-15 after that a snack and dinner between 17-19. This is very important that you do not eat dinner later than 7-8, because it will take time to digest the food and if you eat later the food will not  all be digested and this will turn into fat as the body has taken a break when sleeping. The people that does not eat 3 regulary meals a day plus an snack will sonner become fat. Starving yourslf is not the way, sonner your organs will eat itself thats when you are staring to have a tummy ake if you have not eaten through out the day.

WHAT EVERY YOU DO DON NOT BUY FOODS OR DRINKS WHICH HAVE LIGHT SAYING ON IT OR DIET OR NO ADDED OR ZERO SUGAR. These products have other camicals that will stay and get stuck in your organs it is small small ball you can call them thy are so small that you can see them, but sooner or later all these ball with get stuck and, this is not good. This is something that every one thinks helps and will work, you will probably think that i have wrong and how do i know this. IF YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT HERBALIFE YOU SHOULD REALY READ ABOUT IT, it's a big big company working with people that want to lose weight, this comapny does not sell product in shops or stores. It is not a weightloss skhake you take its a protein, the biggest scientics today, is working in HERBALIFE and, the guy working after Walt Disney died, is called Michel O Johsson, the created, Thge Lion King and other big classics but stoped working a few years back, becasue he wanted to start with this after the guy mark Huges that started this company, because his mum died for being to fat, he wanted to help people loos weight  but in a healthy way, there are other product that they have. Sport drinks enery est, body product that is not tested on animals. HERBALIFE is sponsoring La Galexy, which David Beckahm is now plaing for, he adn his team eats HEARBALIFE. You may now  see the t-shirts La Galexy is now wearing which it says HEARBALIFE ON THEM, on the chest in big letters. To read more about erbalife type up herbalife on the internet.

REMEMBER DO NOT STARV YOURSELF!!!! If you do then your not healthy, and will not loss weight you will go up in weight, just eat normaly, and do some exercise. However, if you are an athele you should eat more than 1800 calories a day of the age between 12-16 then starting to eat more calories after that age. Do not eat fast either your food will not have time to digest in its time it has to and will only throught the food away which then tuns into fat.

Hi im 12 years old. You should probably have 1800 to 2200 calories a day, my mom told me. A little more than the average person because we are growing. I wanted to lose weight, and i have been running for about 6 mounths now. I took a before picture at the begining, and i am seeing results. If you exerzize daily, you probably don't have to worry about your calorie intake.

You should at leat est 1900 calories a day. I too play sports and deal with the fact "if i dont loose weight". Looking good in a bathing suit and back to school wear is hard. Exercise daily, count calories, and just eat healthy and you will be fine(:

you should eat about 1,200 and dont just limit your food to carrots do more eat good food but keep it healthy hope that helps you out

                                        love your helper

oi im 12year old boy and i play heaps of sport and i cant put on weight i shnould wiegh 50 -55kg but only wiegh 44 what should i do

You should eat about two thousand five hundred i think but you need to think that you must eat 2 pourtions of protiean to 1 pourtion of carb. and you just need to make your own meals and make everything fresh and just eat healthy and it should come off but it will take time.

hi dude im 11 and i was overweight to and i weighed 125 when i was 11 and really all i did was stick to a good diet eat healthy foods like fish and chicken and excersice a lot like basketball every day and football when the season comes around and i play baseball too so your best bet is too just eat a lot of chicken,fish,etc and excersice wen ever u can so hope this helps and a 12 year old should eat about 1500 caleries and keep track of them.

I'm 12 yrs old and I wieght 108 I want to be 100 pounds any tips? <!-- /awareness month promo -->

Well, you should continue playing sports at least two hours a day, also your age matters, if your very young, you can lose it in no time, if your a bit older, or alot older, it'll take longer to lose weight. Anyway, to awnser your question, you should consume at least 1000 calories a day, and burn 200-300-400 pounds,through excersize, and you'll feel much lighter.
