A person should have a good amount of calories every day. There are many factors that limit the amount of calories you should eat, these including sex, age, and energy use. There may be other factors but these are the main factors that affect your every day diet. The first factor, sex, is important as males and females grow in different ways each day. The amount of calories a teen should eat is defined by their gender, an average teenage girl should eat 1600 to 1800 calories a day to maintain her weight, while an average teenage boy should be eating 2200 to 2400 calories to maintain his weight. The second factor, age, for an average teenager you should eat the recommended [(girl) 1600 to 1800, (boy) 2200-2400] amount of calories, but as you get older, the amount of calories you eat should decrease. Lastly, your energy usage determines the amount of calories you should eat, you can be less active, averagely active, active, or very active. Each individual based on their level of activity should be eating different amounts of calories.
