How many calories should a 10 year old boy lose in a day?

Answer 1

I also have a 10 year old son who is 160 lbs. He is also 5' 3'' tall and has a larger frame. I took him to a pediatric weight specialist and we are in the process of stopping the weight gain. At this point, we have been told to keep all drinks under 5 calories (Ex: water, G2, Diet Soda in moderation) and to reduce his portions by 15%. Also, all snacks should be 100 calories or less (limited to 2 a day). He is doing well and has even lost a couple pounds. I know this doesn't answer what you wanted to know, but I hope it helps!

Answer 2

Don't worry about it. Simply go up to little johnny's room, and ask him if he like's sports. If he likes sports, or just one, practice for it or them all year, to make him better and to make him lose weight. I weighed 160 in the 5th grade, i went from 160 to 140 in a summer, then in 8th grade hit a growth spurt. Now I'm 5`8 150 pounds and in the 9th grade.

Answer 3

In my opinion, i think they should loose at least 700 calories .. well it also depends on what they have eaten !
