How many calories should teenage girls consume per day?


im 14 years old, and i like to jog for 6 hours per week (2 hours on a busy week)

currently, im 5'1 and weigh 110 pounds :((
i cant seem to lose any weight even if i haven't eaten any "white carbohydrates" for at least 2 years! including honey, pasta, sugar, and potatoes. also, i only eat lean meat and drink skim milk.
-and i do have fat around my body so it can't be the "muscle weighs more than fat" thing :D

any suggestions on how i could possibly lose weight?

thank you for all the help! :))

I agree with other posters that your weight sounds just right - I'm sure you've already done BMI calculations and can tell that you are well within range - if not go to http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ and check it out.

Perhaps you should consider setting a goal that's indepedendent of the scale. Ask your doctor about about getting a body fat analysis for a clearer idea of where you are at... Also, take your measurements - and consider using those measurements as goals.

Whatever you decide - remember that at your weight, you are by no means fat, you sound very active, and seem to choose the right foods. Those are all great things so keep that up!

Good luck.

MUSCLE does weigh more than fat! Eat at least 1600 + calories per day!

YOU have to mix up your exercise. Just don't run all the time. Add Cardio, weight training, walking, Pilates, Yoga, Tai Chi etc to your regimen.

What is a "Healthy Diet"?
The Dietary Guidelines describe a healthy diet as one that:

Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products;
Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts; and
Is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.

Ok, first of all, you should consult your doctor first before going on any diets or doing any exercises. Also, you are only 14!!! And with your height, you are the just the right weight! If you truly want to lose MORE weight, do Pilates and drink a lot of tea to prevent you from snacking on those tempting little sweets or fats. I suggest one in the morning and one in the evening!. Again, you don't need to lose the weight and I would really stress the fact that you should talk to your doctor first.
