How many calories do I burn a day?
I am 13, 115 pounds, and am about 5 feet 2 inches tall. How many calories would I burn a day. Someone said if u were to sit in bed awake all day and do nothing you would burn 1700 calories. I don't know if that is true but i eat around 1200 calories a day, so why am i not losing weight, i excercise about an hour a day.

That person was talking about your BMR (yours is about 1400) BMR stands for Basic Metabolic Rate which is the amount expended while resting, so if you eat 1200 a day and your BMR is 1400 then you have burned 200 calories. I find it weird that you're not losing weight and working out an hour a day. Are you eating healthy foods? If you eat foods high in sodium then you retain water which makes it harder to lose weight, also just drink water and cut out all sodas even diet sodas.
how long have you been doing that?
you should be loosing like, a pound or two a week
but it depends on your own metebolisim..
if you have just started doing that
then maybe you just having lost yet
just cause your body hasnt realized
whats going on yet.
if you have been doing that for a long time
then its probably because your body has just changed
the base amount of calories you burn everyday
because its so used to what you have been doing
All people are different so results may vary. just keep failing.(push it so you cant go farther or until you don't think its safe to go farther.) exercising also stops your growth so yea don't over do it.
