Accurate calorie goals?

runnerforever234

Hello! :happy:

I just was looking for some advice- I'm looking to lose a lot of fat, and have some really nice muscle definition. I'm a teenager, and unlike all the other girls, I have no interest in being stick skinny. I am thin though because I watch what I eat and exercise. I am currently eating around 1100 cals. a day and working off about 300-600 through exercise daily. Which I know is devastating my goals, How is one suppose to feed their muscles with 1100 cals?? I am young, 5'8, around 120lbs- and looking to lose fat and gain a little muscle. How many calories do you recommend I should eat? (I eat healthy, by the way, so the calories I eat aren't ice cream and chips.)

But at 5'8" and 120 lbs I'm pretty sure you're actually below the healthy weight range for your height. Maybe work in strength training to help with muscle definition?
