how old are you? if you are a teen, you will need more.

I went to a few of the sites with calorie calculators and plugged in your information, assuming you are a teen or young adult.  The average I came up with, putting you in the moderately active category, was 2000-2200.  Even that may not be enough.  You can use any search engine yourself; put in some phrase like "how many calories does a teenage girl need" or "how many calories does a young female adult need to stay healthy", etc, etc.  You will eventually find some sites with calorie calculators and with articles about what is healthy for you.

im 16 soon to be 17 in august.
