It's not about how much calories should you eat to lose weight but rather by understanding energy balance is the key to lose weight successfully. Start tipping the scales in your favour today!

calorie intake > calorie use = weight gain

calorie intake = calorie use = no change to body weight

calorie intake < calorie use = weight loss

Sorry, but at 16 you are not done growing.

At any rate, losing weight is about burning more calories than you consume. Aim for a 1500 to 2000 calorie/day diet.

Then, try a daily exercise routine that does 20 minute cardio warm-up, 30 minute weight training, and finish with 30 minutes of cardio. You should see results in 7 days.

A healthy way to lose weight is to aim for losing 1lb a week.

A quick boost is to buy a pedometer. This is a cheap little machine that counts your daily steps. Aim for 10,000 steps per day.

I just had a class that said women shouldn't eat less than 1200 calories a day. I'm sure being 16, you can eat much more and be ok. The problems seem to start in the mid 20s when people start gaining a pound a year on the average and loss lean muscle.
