About how many calories should an 11 year old eat per day?

2,000 calories, but with plenty of exercise, too. Well it all depends. You should be around 1600-2200 calories per day. So if you want less try to keep it around 400 calories per meal. Remember you are growing, at this age you can NOT compare yourself to other people. Some people might be super skinny and some might be a little chubby. But you are growing,at age 11 you are all going to be different weights and that is TOTALLY normal. I remeber at your age i was very conserned about my weight. But I relized I was only eating 480 calories. And my body was going into starvation mode. Remember you are a growing person. You are perfect the way you are. :)

About how many calories would it take to boil a gallon of fresh water?

A calorie (kcal) is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1 kg water by 1 °C. Water weighs about 1000 kg per cubic meter, which is equivalent to approximately 3.79 kg per gallon. Assuming the water is at room temperature (25 °C), it will take about 284 calories to raise one gallon of water to near boiling (100 °C).

In order to actually boil, at least part of the water must be turned into steam. It takes 540 calories per 1 kg to turn water into steam, so it will take some additional energy beyond the 284 to actually bring the water to a boil.

How many calories per day do you need to survive?

i think you about 2000 per day idk

From biovmr121108: Between 1500 and 2500, but see below.

This depends on your mass and necessary activity level, since each unit of mass ( kilograms, or whatever you wish) requires calories to both remain living and to function at a given level (for example, muscle tissue or your brain).

Setting aside the important point of what the calories consist of (vitamins, minerals, etc.), an average American female (5'4", 164 lbs) needs just under 1500 calories per day for a very sedentary existence (i.e., just surviving WHILE maintaining the SAME MASS).

The typical American male (5'9 1/2", 191 lbs) would need 2430 calories daily to survive or "Maintain".

To just stay alive, it really becomes a matter of how many calories below these numbers each day and how long the reduced calories are endured.

For example, reducing the calorie intake by 500 per day would reduce the body mass by about 2 kilos per month, or 1 lbs per week (all things remaining equal).

Once body fat reduces drastically, the remaining portions of the body would be consumed by the most vital organs/systems until enough damage occurred to cause cardiac arrest directly (likely), or contraction of a common illness which would in the body's weakened condition lead to other complications and death (more likely).

If you purge after eating something how much calories are already absorbed and how much can you get rid of by purging?

It all really depends on how long you wait with food in your body before purging.

It takes 1 to 4 hours for food to move past your stomach. You do not absorb nutrients or calories until your small intestine.

How many calories can you burn during jazzercise?

Jazzercise opposed to other exercise programs is basically the same. Fat burned during exsercise depends on your height and weight, time spent in the target heart range, and the length of your exercise, which for Jazzercise is about an hour, am I correct? Jazzercise is mostly cardio and aerobic but for the last 15 minutes or so which is strength training.

How many calories does tae bo burn per hour for a 230 lb female?

You can find lots of information on this by google-ing "how many calories does tae bo burn".

How many calories equal 1 pound?

1 calorie = 1 calorie (why would it equal anything else)

What percentage of calories should be sugar grams from fruit?

Honestly, none. Sugar from fruit isn't bad but it isn't better than other sugar either. When you eat an apple you are weighing the obvious benefits of vitamins, minerals, fiber and great taste against the sugary-ness. Vitamins, minerals and fiber from the foods you eat, especially fresh, raw fruits and veggie are better absorbed and work better for your body than pills. So, try to eat your colors in mostly veggies and try to make each piece of fruit count. Find ones that are packed full of nutritious goodness and really enjoy 'em. Make sure the majority of your carbs in a day come from whole grains but don't skip the fruits because of the sugars. It is better to eat a full daily requirement of each vitamin than to take a pill, tastier too.

How many calories do you need to burn to lose 1 gram of fat?

If you are 5ft 3in weigh 125 lbs and want to lose 10 lbs how many calories should you have a day?

You'll lose weight only one way: expend more energy than you take in. Two basic ways: 1) more activity (expend energy), such as walking, aerobics, rowing, jogging; and 2) eat less fat and oil. If you stick with lean meat (chicken, some beef, turkey, fish), vegetables (especially green and orange), fruits, low-fat grains (like pasta without butter), and low-fat or skim dairy products, you'll have a better time of it than starving. Your height and weight have very little to do with your caloric intake. A moderately-active person can take in 1500 calories and still lose weight. We burn about 1200 calories a day just being alive! Remember, carbs get burned first, then protein, then fat, so read the ingredients and check for fat and oil content. In our society, 0g of fat is impossible. Just try to keep it minimal. Water weight is not a problem unless you take in too much salt. Follow these simple guidelines (if you will) and you'll be losing weight in no time. And remember: Do Not Obess Over Losing Weight.

How many calories should you eat per day if you are 5'7 and weigh 128 pounds and are trying to lose weight?

Aim for 1300-1500....But you really don't need to lose weight. I'm 5'6" and weigh 140 pounds and look fine. Be reasonable with dieting, your weight isn't going to drop much more before it comes dangerously thin... You are at the perfect weight right now. If you want to work on your figure, just try light exercise 3 times a week. Also, if you want to stay lean, just watch the type of foods you are eating. Trade snack cakes for fruit and white breads for whole grain breads (minus the high fructose corn syrup). Try eating a few meatless dinners a week.

How many grams of sugar should a person have each day in relation to calorie intake?

  • Any human being can do very well without any added sugar. There is no recommended daily allowance (RDA) for sugar. In fact, some experts believe we need no sugar at all. We don't need it at all. Just watch your calories and how much of them are carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
  • Added sugar can be bad for health. If you must do it then not more than 12 teaspoons added sugar for a 2000 calorie per day diet.
  • No more than 40 grams per day for a 2000 calorie diet. Remember that the daily limit of 40 grams refers to refined/processed sugars only.
  • There is no definitive answer to the question, but 40 grams is the maximum amount for non-diabetics.
  • There are two main types of sugar. There are the ones found naturally in foods and the ones added to foods and drinks to make them sweeter. You do not needed the added sugars for good heath. So remember to read food labels and choose no sugar or lower-sugar brands.
  • Unlike proteins and fats, added sugar is not essential for health. You will do far better without any added sugar. There is natural sugar in foods such as vegetables and fruit and that is all the sugar you need.
  • Added sugars include refined sugars such as table sugar and things such as maltose, hydrolysed starch, and corn syrup, added to processed foods or drinks. Remember too that honey and fruit juice count as added sugars. They are sometimes added to drinks and foods to make them sweeter. Watch out for all the added sugars; either avoid them or include them in your daily limit. Remember that sugar and all products containing sugar are refined (processed) carbohydrates. Refined/processed carbohydrates are a major cause of weight gain, obesity, and many diet related diseases. If you value your health, particularly your long-term health, eliminate, or limit, apart from the occasional treat, refined processed carbohydrates (and this includes sugar and all foods containing added sugar). If you are unsure what other foods are refined/processed carbohydrates, you can view a list further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

What foods can fill you up for hours but are really low in calories and fat?

== == A big (very BIG!) salad using various types of greens (like spinach, endive, field greens, etc.) will fill you up for a few hours. You could also hard boil some eggs and add only the white part (no yellow allowed!). Depending on how many calories you want, add some low-fat meat like chicken or turkey. It helps to drink a TON of water which will also keep you full. If you like to munch, celery would be a good idea. If you are trying to satisfy a sugar craving, try non-fat, sugar-free yogurt.

How many calories should a 12-year-old girl have?

Between 1,600 and 2,200 depending on her level of activity.

As she is still growing it is very important that she receives an adequate intake. Protein for growth and maintenance, carbohydrates for energy and a certain amount of fat to allow for the use of fat soluble vitamins.

If overweight have a playtime where they would run around daily for 2 hours. Watch what you eat, really keep off high fat foods.

How many calories should you intake to lose weight fast?

You should eat heathy foods that are low in fat and calories. Fruits and Vegies are great and I would suggest staying away from white breads and pastas. You need to eat them so simply switch to whole grains and wheats :) you'll get used it. Also portion control is HUGE, use a salad plate instead of a dinner plate to help with that. Daily excercise is a biggy also, you need to do cardio and muscle toning 4-5 days a week at least. You also need to keep in mind that there is NO quick fix. good luck Eat fewer calories than you are eating now. Start eating more veggies and fruits, rather than junk food. Peter Jackson (famous director of Lord of the Rings) ate yogurt and muslie instead of soda and junk food.

How many calories should a 7-year-old girl eat per day?

If she is very overweight/underweight she should see a doctor and nutritionist, she is too young for an 'adult' diet. But if she is normal weight don't worry about her calories, just give her a healthy well balanced diet and her appetite will take care of the rest.

For examples of the daily calorie requirements of a 7-year-old girl or boy, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

How much weight will you lose if you only have 500 to 600 calories a day?

A fair amount at first, but it wont be fat, it will be fluid and muscle. And then your body will go into starvation mode because it thinks it wont get anymore food, and it will store ALL the food you eat as fat, your metabolism will slow down, and you will have to eat LESS to just maintain your weight - no matter lose it. Now on the other hand, if you did lots of muscle bulding exercises and eat healthily you would build muscle, and muscle burns more calories than fat by a long way, so your metabolism increases and you will need to eat MORE just to keep your weight from dropping!!! Plus you will be burning probably 2 to 3 times as many calories as starving yourslelf, just in your normal daily routine - not even taking in to account the calories burnt while doing the exercise. Remember though, don't over do it. I'm rambling again sorry. Hope this helps (and doesnt sound to preachy).

Answer 2- I some what disagree with the answer above you will lose fat that's what the body turns to first when your in starvation mode. Your metabolism will slow but not all your food will be stored as fat otherwise no one would have success with the size 0 diet you are talking about. I know this from trying it my self and lost 5 lbs in a week with out exercise. Just keep your water intake high so it isn't just water weight you lose.

Answer 3- They say that eating that may calories is very dangerous. But i did it for a month and i was completely fine. I didn't eat over 600 calories a day. I was also in dance and karate, everyday. Eating only 600 calories didn't make me weak or tired. It made me feel a lot better and stronger. I also did the P90x which was really helpful, but i never felt weak from only eating 600 calories. i did this for a month and lost 10 pounds. The first week i did it though i lost 5 pounds so i figured i'd loose 5 pounds every week, but instead the total ended up being 10 pounds. Its really not hard to do and i felt a lot better. But i agree with answer 2, it just depends on your body.
