Teens need more calories than adults because they're still growing. Most teen girls need from 1800 to 2500; most teen boys need from 2000 to 3000. My advice? Don't count calories; it's frustrating and it gets old really fast. Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet with limited sweets and keep active, and you should be fine.
How many calories should I eat per day if I burn 800-900?
Depends on what you are trying to do. Most I'm assuming based on your name you're a guy. Most men require 2000 calories a day. You probably burn a little more or less than this normally. Adding 800-900 means if you want to lose weight you should eat around 2300-2400. Eat more to gain weight. Eat about 2800-2900 to roughly maintain your weight. If you notice your weight going up steadily, eat less. If it's going down steadily, eat more. Know that your weight will fluctuate normally. You can gain 20 pounds in a day if you tried, and lose 20 in that same day. It's best to weigh yourself under the same circumstances everytime you weigh yourself so that you're sure you're getting a relatively accurate measure.

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.
Im 16...how many calories should i eat?
You likely brun about 1850ish calories a day with those stats. Subtracting 500 calories a day from how much you burn a day would equal 1 lbs lost per week or 1000 clories less for 2 lbs. Same goes for gaining weight, adding 500 to however much you burn in a day would make you gain 1 lbs a week.. You should never try to lose more then 2-3 lbs a week. Um... but since your so small already I think you just try to lose 1 pound per week so you should take in 1350 calories a day... Dont want to starve yourself.
