Is 1600 calories a day safe?

Question

I'm 14 5'8 and 208 pounds i want to get down to 185 by July, so can i do this?

Answer

1600 is a perfectly healthy amount of calories to consume in a day when you're physically active. 1200 is the absolute smallest amount you should ever be eating, anything less than that will put your body into starvation mode and cause you to hold onto fat because your body doesn't know when it will eat again. Honestly though, I would concentrate less on the calories and more on how good the foods you're eating are. Vegetables, good proteins, healthy fats and complex carbs are so important. Eat healthy, drink more water, cut out junk food and exercise and you're gold, honey.
