Answer 3

It varies based on weight, height, body type, activity level, and a few other important factors such as does the 13-year-old boy need to maintain weight, gain weight, or lose weight. For more information and examples, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Answer 4

It depends.

If you are adult height, you may need adult amounts. These are 2000 for girls and 2500 for boys.

If you are very short you would need considerably less than this, maybe around 1400.

I would say however that the average 13 year old would probably need about 1600-1800 calories a day.

Eating considerably less or more than this a day for a sustained period of time can be very dangerous for your long term health.

Answer 5

You will have to do a little math

RMR(Calories you burn just resting):

• For men: (10 x w) + (6.25 x h) - (5 x a) + 5

• For women: (10 x w) + (6.25 x h) - (5 x a) - 161

Where: w = weight in kg h = height in cm a = age

You will then have to multiply that number by activity category.

Activity Factor

Category

Definition

1.2

Sedentary

Little or no exercise and desk job

1.375

Lightly Active

Light exercise or sports 1-3 days a week

1.55

Moderately Active

Moderate exercise or sports 3-5 days a week

1.725

Very Active

Hard exercise or sports 6-7 days a week4

1.9

Extremely Active

Hard daily exercise or sports and physical job

The final number you get will be the calories you need to maintain your current body weight.
