How many CALORIES?!?!?

how many calories does a 12-14 years old women should take in a day?
Answer:
Unless you're overweight, I wouldn't count calories as you would still be growing.

Eat nutritious food - lean meat, vegetables, fruit, whole grains, low fat dairy - until you are full. Your body knows how much food it needs, as long as you don't confuse it by feeding it garbage.

Once you are fully grown, you can worry about fine tuning your weight.

If you are overweight, talk to your doctor, who would be more then happy to give you some nutritional advice.
1200 if overweight 1500 if healthy weight 1700 if underweight
if you are within the avrage weight limit, (you cn check this by finding your BMI, (to find your BMI, just google "find BMI" and click on the 1st link)) but if you are within the avrage weight limit, then you should be taking in about 1,450 to 1,550 per day.
It is impossible to say. Your caloric intake is dependent on your body mass, metabolism and activity level. Also, in your case, whether you have stopped growing or not is also a consideration.

This question can only be answered after measurements, physical evaluations and calculations. Everything else is speculation dependent on "average" information which likely is NOT right for you.
