What is the daily intake of calories for a typical teenager?

Answer 1

It depends on the teenager. Everyone's bodies are different and some people need more calories than others. But if you want a definit answer the average calorie intake a day is around 2,000 calories. But keep in mind some people need more than that to keep the nutriets they need in their bodies. Don't obsess about calories or food, it's good to count calories but don't obsess. Eat healthy but once in a while it's okay to indulge in that special treat. (Just eat in variations)

Answer 2

It depends on gender, age, height, weight, activity level, etc. Since it varies so much, it's best to ask a doctor for a more spot-on number. However, most teens should usually eat about 1,800-2,400 calories per day, depending.

That will depend on many factors, such as your basic metabolism, how active you are, and what your height and weight are. 2000 calories per day is a round number, but may need to be tweaked by several hundred depending on the above factors. See also:
