Am I at a good weight, and how many calories should I be consuming on a daily basis?

best walking jogging shoes for women image

KiSS ThiSS

I am 15 years old, female. 5 foot 6 inches and I weigh 120 lbs. Am I at a healthy weight? Also how many calories should I be consuming daily? I eat healthy, and I exercise about an hour a day, five days a week, mostly fast-paced walking, or jogging.
How many calories do I need on days I am active?
How many do I need to function, or on days that I'm not active?

At the moment I think I consume way too few calories (usually no more that 1,500) any input would be appreciated!

Answer
According to Prevention Magazine (my bible!) You should weigh 118-145. So you are at a great weight. In order to maintain that weight, assuming you do a NORMAL amount of exercise, you will maintain your weight by eating your weight X 15. 120X15=1800. And there are 3500 calories to a pound. So you are not eating enough. On the days you exercise, you probably burn 500-700 calories. So at this pace you'll probably be losing a pound every week or two. Start eating ice cream (lots of calcium) and nuts (lots of protein, and a fattening treat once or twice a week. Don't ever go hungry! Eat, girlfriend!! You know how many women would love to be in your shoes?! Have a lot of healthy snacks in the house. Go walk the aisles in a health food store or TRADER JOE'S if you have that store. Glad to hear from someone so healthy !! Good luck to you. :)
