Approximately 2 years after puberty your epiphyseal growth plates which are attached to your leg bones and arm bones fuse so these bones are not able to grow any more. This is why you don't continue to grow indefinetly! It is estimated that this happens at an earlier age in girls than boys, around age 16 and 18 respectively. This varies in individuals.

Around the time of puberty however we do have a growth spurt controlled by all the hormones in our body. don't expect much height growth after 20-21...except we can expect to continue to grow wider...if we don't watch ourselves! lol

How many calories should a 150 pound 16 year old girl have daily?

This depends on whether she is still growing or not. Some girls have stopped growing very early on and will need less calories to keep their body weight the same. If they would still be growing, they would need more calories to help their bodies. For a 16 year old girl that is still growing, I'd recommend 2500 calories a day. If not growing, 2000 calories would be enough, as recommended for women in general.
