I think your calculations might be off and you would want to check your math. Be sure you used centimeters and kilograms and not inches and pounds. You need at least 1800 - 2100 calories for healthy weight loss while exercising which is the way to get a fit and lean body that is toned.

| Okay thanks a lot. When I calculated it, it did seem pretty low.

| It's never healthy for a teenager to be eating less than 1,800 calories. 1375.8 is your BMR-- the number of calories you would burn if you literally laid in bed ALL day. But, chances are good that you're not on bed-rest, so your metabolism is probably around 2400! If you eat less than 1,800 calories, your body will enter starvation mode and will hold on to what little calories you are taking in for self-preservation. It's also bad for your nutrition and it makes you tired all the time. Just don't do it.

| I figured out that my BMR is 1375.8 and if I reduce my calories to that amount and also exercise I will lose weight. I was just wondering if that was healthy......
