I am 17, 5"2 and 105lbs and do about 10,000 steps a day. i haven't had a period in 10 months. how many calories should i be eating to get it back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No period/10 mo.: At 17, and 105 at 5'2" your weight is normal. It is the exercise (even walking not running for 10 K steps is about 3-5 miles every day) which may inhibit ovulation, which if not occurring, explains having no periods. It is not your calories which need to be increased. You should see your healthcare provider for hormonal testing to find the answer.
