Answers:
At ninety pounds and still growing with moderate activity, 1700 calories is plenty to maintain your weight!. To gain weight at 80 lbs, 1800-2000!. These are roundabout numbers and you'll have to monitor weight weekly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First, 80 pounds is considered very underweight for your height, with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 15!.6!. 90 pounds (BMI 17!.6) is also underweight, though less so!. A healthy BMI is between 18!.5 and 24!.9, or approximately between 95 and 125 pounds!.
As for calories, it is recommended that a female in your age group should eat between 1750 and 2300 per day depending on your activity level!. A male should eat between 2300 and 3100!. Presumably you would have to eat more than this to gain weight!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Uhm!.!.!. 2000 is the standard I am guessing!. But it depends on if you do anything excercise oriented!. If you lift weights, do sit ups, you gotta take in a little more than you normally wouldWww@Answer-Health@Com

2,000 calories is the average!. If you want to gain weight ask your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
