Need help. is 1200 calories enough for a 16 year old girl who is 5'10 and weighs 140lbs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Calories: 1200 calories is not usually enough for a teen girl who is 5-10 and 140lbs. A lot depends on activity level but typically 1800 is a good place to start. The more active you are the more calories you will need.
