Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
yes, it does add up. you may only take 2000 calories or less, but to loose or keep your weight you have to exercise!! eating only a salad isnt bad as long as you drink LOTS of water throughout the day. so if you want to loose your weight, you can eat regular, but you have to exercise. hope i helped

This is an American website. What are stones? Please translate kg into pounds (our weight system)!!!!

That 2,000 calorie thing is average. It's different for each gender, height, blah blah blah. You need to find out what a fourteen year old girl needs to bring in everyday. Ask your doctor.

okay if your not losing weight try eating really heathly and only about the size of your fist. try not to eat to much toast or bread, eat small amounts of meat and lots of veggies!! hopefully that helps and i'm 5'11 and i've lost lost weight from doing that but i also run everyday and work out so try doing that!! good luck!!

Its not necessarily the calorie intake that causes weight gain/loss.
A lot has to do with what it is you are eating. If it is something high in fat then it is going to cause weight gain.
Eat normally, watch portion size and exercise. You will be much better off. Avoid high fat content foods, watch the candy and sugar, avoid sodas. :)

The question is are you getting enough exercise? A friend of mine dealt with an eating disorder known as anorexia. It made her depressed all throughout freshman year, gave her low self confidence, and she was basically dying. She couldn't even run the warm-up in her JV year on cheer leading. By the end of her freshman year she weighed a little over 85 pounds. Now she's found help and dealt with her self esteem issues but is this a process that you're willing to go through? She tried so hard to lose weight that in the end she basically dumped her life in the toilet and flushed it.
Remember that when losing weight is not only about your food consumption but about exercise too. Think of it as a very delicate scale. If you can balance both, that's great! You feel good about yourself and losing weight at the same time. Exercise daily (get at least 45 minutes a day outside/running), and watch what you eat. This means cutting junk food, soda, etc. A salad a day is DEFINITELY not enough. Think about all the proteins and vitamins you're missing. It's more about what you eat per portion rather than how much food you are cutting from your diet. Don't ever abuse either side or you'll find yourself caught in a cycle 3% of women in the US suffer from everyday.

Girls generally stop actually growing at the age of 16. You are most likely putting on weight because you are about to get taller. You need to keep eating to get the proper nutrients you need for everyday. Don't worry about it...youre just growing! If you're still really worried about it exercise more often, maybe that will help you feel better.
Goodluck,
Nina
