A member asked:
Is it safe for a 10 year old to eat 1,100 calories a day? if not, how many should she eat? what is the best number of calories for a dieting 10yr.old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too few: An average 10 year old would need about 2000 to 2200 calories a day. For weight loss of one pound a week, I recommend 1500 calories. Anything less than that might lead to starvation and could actually prevent weight loss.
