Is 1400 calories a day safe for a 14 year old girl?

Question

I'm 5'8 198 pounds and want to be 160 by October. I'm not really that active but am working on it lol.

Answer

Talk to your doctor. Women on a forum can’t give you advice for your specific body and health situation. Your doctor can give you targeted advice to help you and great resources.

Answer

What’s your bmi

Answer

Eating less won't help you lose weight. It's all about how healthy you eat and if you maintain good macros. I'm 25 and 5'8, started eating upwards of 2300 calories. I went from being between 150-155 pounds to 140-145 without any exercising.

Answer

I would definitely talk to your doctor about calorie intake, but I can tell you that eating more calories of healthy food (fruits and veggies) will get you much better results than eating less calories of unhealthy food (pizza, donuts, fast food) 
Good luck on this journey!!

Answer

not sure. it's better to eat healthier, fruits and veggies than calorie count if you are eating junk food.

Answer

Possibly? If you’re trying to be active you may need more calories and you are quite tall so that would require a little more calories. But I don’t think counting calories is necessary. Just eat clean and healthy, and you should be able to lose some weight.
