Question: How many calories should a 16 year old girl that weighs 150-160lbs and 5'4 have a day to lose 1lb?
trying to change my life style to lose weight. i weight between 150-160 lbs and i'm 5'4 just wondering how many calories i should take in a day and how many calories i should have to lose 1 pound?

Answers:

so right now, your BMI is 26.96. an average BMI is from 18.5-22.5. for your BMI to be about 21, you would have to weigh around 122 pounds. to lose about a pound a day, i would recommend eating about 1200-1400 calories a day. but dont weigh yourself everyday, because girls constantly have weight fluctuations, so weigh yourself once a week, in the morning before you eat breakfast to get the most accurate reading. hope i was a help! if i was, please choose best answer! :)



to lose a pound you need to have a 3500 calorie deficit. so if you burn 2000 cals a day then eat 1500 a day and you'll lose a pound in 7 days.
