How many calories should I be consuming a day?

I'm 13, I'm 5'7' I weigh about 112- 115 lbs. I feel as If im overweight, so how many calories should I be decreasing my diet by to lose weight? Thankyou x

For sedentary people: Weight x 14 = estimated cal/day

For moderately active people: Weight x 17 = estimated cal/day

For active people: Weight x 20 = estimated cal/day

Note: Moderately Active is defined as 3-4 aerobic sessions per week. Active is defined as 5-7 aerobic sessions per week.

Your BMI is 17.5, you are severely underweight. You do not need to be losing weight...

You're going to need to stop paying attention to your weight and start looking at the bigger picture, because weight is just one number among many. 115 pounds might be overweight for a person 2 feet tall, but for a 5'7' girl, as ty said, it's severely underweight.

You're at the age when your body is going to kick into it's adult shape. That means its going to do its damedest to round out your hips, legs, breast -- you know, the girl bits. You're weight should be going up, not down, unless you want to end up looking like a Suzanne Sommers poster child.

Since you're also on the tall side for girls, your ideal weight is not going to be the ideal weight for everyone else. A 5'2' girl can get away with weighing 110 pounds. You're going to put your health at risk if you try it. Strive for health, not a number.

You definatly don't need to lose weight. But you should be consuming 2,000 calories a day d=most definatly. you are actually UNDERWEIGHT for your height you should weigh 140 pounds or 135 pounds. But don't lose weight just eat 2,000 calories and you'll be all good. just make it healthy =)

You're majorly underweight, don't try to lose any stay how you are or gain if you can. Never feel as if your overweight.

actually you are majorly underweight. you should consume like 2,500 calaories a day for a little while untol you hit at least 125 or 130 then go down to 2,000 a day. I know your friends probably weigh less than you but I bet most of them are shorter than you 2! you are really tall so you should weigh much more than what you do!

actually your under weight for your height maybe if you take out all the junk from your diet and eat in portions youll lose weight1

        Simply a Rose to brighten your day,
        And maybe lessen the cares in your way;
        And also, too, to help you to know,
        That in knowing you, many others grow!

According to he Adult weight chart (can't use the Teen one because it doesn't allow for your height), you should weigh between 122 and 148 pounds.
