How to find out how many calories does a 12 year old boy need to maintain his weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: 12 year old boys are growing and will need more calories than someone who is not still growing. Boys this age should not restrict calories unless they have been diagnosed as overweight or obese. An active 12 year old boy could need up to 3000 calories a day to meet his needs. The center for disease control has some good information on child nutrition. www.cdc.gov.
