can I maintain on 1700?
Would I gain weight eating 1700 calories a day? I'm lightly active. I go to the gym only twice a week and burn 250 calories there. Other then that, I really don't get much exercise. Is 1700 okay?

Oh I'm 123 pounds and 5'4
Why do you keep asking this question and ignoring the answers? Will you keep asking until you get the answer you want to hear? Do you really want to spend the rest of your life counting calories and freakin' out about your weight? Stop obsessing. Learn to incorporate 45mins - 1 hour of exercise 5x week and eat 2200 calories -- which will allow you to enjoy the same foods your friends and family do.
According to the Children's Nutrition Research Center's Healthy Eating Calculator, if you are active less than 1 hour per day then you should maintain on 2045 calories. You are not sedentary -- there are very few teens who are never active.
I just feel scared I guess...but I should eat more. I won't be able to eat this much when I'm older so I might as well take advantage of it now!
