| I was like that when I first started trying to lose weight. It is hard because you feel like if you go over you're going to gain weight. However when you are a growing teen you're gonna need at least 1800 calories minimum. Now that I eat more than 1800 calories a day I feel better and like I have more energy. You just have to get over that fear, it will take time but you just have try and work through it.

Actually eating under your intake needs is worse then eating over so if you have to choose between the two, going over sightly would be much better.
You need to work through your fear and learn to eat at your estimated needs as expected so you can see that it isn't as bad as you fear. Under eating burns muscle and leaves the fat stores which isn't what you want. By eating at or above your needs, exercising for 30 minutes of cardio 3-4 days a week and doing strength training 2-3 days a week, you will tone your muscles and burn the fat and you will be amazed at how resculpting your body looks and feels.

| Currenty I am at 1600 calories, however, I am afraid to eat more. Once I start, I can't stop! I know I will go over my limit if I go and eat some more!
