Question 2

what's the calorie intake for a 14 year old girl daily?

Accepted Answer

Really Depends: There isn't any specific calorie count in general. It would depend on level of activity, stage of puberty, and also on the diet itself.

Question 3

i am a sedentary 14 year old girl weighing 131 at 5'4. how many calories should i eat to get to 120 pounds and then to maintain the 120 pounds?

Accepted Answer

Weight change: You are presently at  about 60 %ile ht, 80%ile wt, and 81%ile BMI. You want to loose 11 pounds over a time frame of 6 years. I don't know what you like to eat but I would suggest you keep an accurate diary of your food and caloric intake over the next week or two. Make it contemporaneously, NOT at the end of the day. Then speak to a nutritionist. You will succeed!!

Question 4

how many calories should a fourteen year old girl intake daily?

Accepted Answer

To do what?: Caloric intake is only one issue.  Getting enough of the proper nutrients (like proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals) also matters. How tall is she?  Is she still growing?  What is her body mass index? Is she getting enough exercise? Is she overweight? Underweight? Calorie counting for teens is difficult and usually unnecessary.  Portion control is much more effective.

Question 5

what kind of yogurt is healthy for a 14 year old girl?

Accepted Answer

All: I'm not aware of any 'unhealthy' yogurt or anything that is specific to teens. Obviously if it is homemade, who can tell? Some yogurt has a lot of unneeded carbohydrates and sweets (fruits and jellies) but it isn't 'unhealthy'.

Question 6

what is the average height for a 14 year old girl?

Accepted Answer

Why do you ask?: This varies tremendously from country to country. Your pediatrician has tables and graphs of heights, weights and measurements for your community.

Question 7

is it bad to masturbate if i am a 14 year old girl?

Accepted Answer

Some basics: Sexual awakening is a stage common in both sexes. Masturbation emerges &amp; peaks in the teen years and may continue to some degree through life. There are many societal taboos to discussing or participating in the practice. I would not lose sleep over the issue. I consider t part of a normal life.

Question 8

is it ok for a 14 year old girl to masturbate a lot?

Accepted Answer

Yes & No - Reasons?: Perhaps a bit usual; also exploring self. Probably the larger issue is the reasons. While there is no evidence that mastubation is harmful (despite old social taboos) a larger concern might be the situation & why such a drive for some pleasure. Could it be that person's view of life & issues depressing, feels trapped, bored & looking for some form or relief/pleasure. Suggest exploring other issues.

Question 9

need help. is 42 kilos skinny for a 14 year old girl?

Accepted Answer

Ideal body weight: It depends on the girl's height.  If the girl is 5'6' then yes that is way too skinny.  If the girl is between 4'11 and 5'1" then she's likely fine.

Question 10

how come a 14 year old girl be getting frequent headaches?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: There are many causes of headaches, including muscle tension (particularly in the neck and shoulders) and eye strain.  Perhaps the most common cause of headaches is dehydration; try drinking plenty of water during the day to see if this helps.  There are other more serious causes of chronic headaches; best to check in with your doc if this persists.
