A member asked:
How many calories, roughly, should a 10 year old burn daily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Large variability: The answer to this depends on many factors, such as gender and activity level. A 10 year old needs enough calories to support growth and provide energy. Roughly, a 10 year old girl needs 1400-2000 calories a day, and a boy needs 1600-2200 calories a day. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that all children get one hour of activity each day and consume 5 servings of fruits and veggies.
