use a formula below: Estimated energy expenditure will be= 135.3-{30.8x10 + pa (degree of physical activity)[(934x hieight in m(meter)] +10x weight (kg)] +25]}. Pa would be 1.31, if she is moderately active every day. For example, if she is of an average height and weight for 10 year old girl, then she would require about 2267 kcal. As you can see, calorie expenditure varies with height and weight and activities.
