Dr. Kyon Hood answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

It depends: Teenage boys on average need 1,800 to 2,600 calories a day if they're 11 to 13 years of age, but it's best to discuss this with your pediatrician or a nutritionist. They can advise more specifically a proper diet for your son based on his height, weight, BMI, growth velocity, etc.

A member asked:

I'm a 5"10, 77kg, 25 year old man. If I cut calories by 600 below my daily needs what fat to muscle loss ratio can I expect per week. I don't exercise or intend to at this point. I know it's a difficult question but an estimate will be fine?
