Question:

Answers:
first, ignore the other answers!

There is no way anyone can determine the required Caloric intake for an individual knowing only the person's age.

To determine an individual's required Caloric intake the info needed is:

age
activity level
body weight
percent body fat.

you should be consulting a nutritionist who is incontact with the 13-year old's doctor.

Other Answers:
No it isn't. Not when you are trying to grow and are active. You want your bones to grow, and form well. You achieve the maxiumum amount of bone density in your mid 20's. taking away some of that with a limited diet at such an early age is extremely risky.

It's best you check with your doctor before beginning any diet. Actually a 1200 calorie diet for a 13 year is relatively safe but maybe you should get more calories in your body just in case, and to avoid sickness and falling asleep during the day a result for lack of daily activities.

thats about how much i esat a day . Im 13 and so far i have actually gained weight!
