How many calories per day should a 17 year old girl eat?
Nobody can give you a numeric answer. It’s going to be different for everybody. If your weight is staying stable, or going slightly up, then you’re getting the right number of calories. If you find your weight trending down, treat that very seriously. If you can’t arrest it with changes to your diet then see the doctor as soon as possible.Your eating schedule can be pretty arbitrary. There is no reason you must eat at certain times of day. (Though people with insomnia benefit from a regular, predictable eating schedule.) So don’t sweat it if you’re eating at odd times. Just eat a healthy diet overall: a variety of foods, mostly plants, not too much or too little.

Depends on how active you are. Start with 1500 calories from natural food choices, no junk. Weigh yourself every 2 weeks. If you are still gaining, drop 100 calories and try again for two weeks. You will find that magic number. Exercise to help it as well.

Is 1,400 calories a day too little for a 15-year-old girl?
Generally as a teenager, it is not the best thing to consume less calories than what you should be consuming. Your optimal time to grow is during your teenage years, so it’s very strange to lose weight if you look healthy.If you’re overweight or obese, talk to your doctor about a proper diet to have.On a general note, 1400 calories sounds too low for anybody, let alone a 15 year old girl.Talk to your doctor ASAP. And if you do want a general idea of how much you should be eating, perhaps you should use this TDEE calculator: TDEE Calculator: Learn Your Total Daily Energy Expenditure.Hope this helps.
How many calories should I eat as a 140 lb, 17 year old girl (who exercises 5-6x per week) trying to lose ~20 lbs?
I think you sound really healthy! Having said that, your muscle mass is probably why you weigh 140 lbs. You are probably very slim in any case. You should probably talk to your doctor or physical Ed teacher.You work out..If you do weights…then your weight has no bearing on size.

How many calories should a 17 year old girl who wants to lose 15 pounds in 3 months eat?
Hi dear :), multiply your body weight by 15. The number you get is your “maintenance” calories. In order to lose weight you will need to subtract 100–500 calories from that number. For example, if you weight 165 pounds you need to multiply that number by 15, which is 2,475. Subtract 100–500 calories from that number. That's how many calories a day you will need to eat in order to lose weight. I strongly suggest you do this VERY slowly, to avoid “metabolic damage”. Every week subtract 100 calories and NEVER exceed more than 500 calories. Remember you can help put yourself into a deficit with the help of cardio. You are young and have probably never dieted before so the weight should have no problem melting off. :) Good luck dear.
