Do I need to lose weight?//how many calories should I be consuming daily?

Q: I’m a 14 year old girl, I’m 5’7″ and I have no clue what I weigh…probably around 130-ish. I hate how my body looks. I try to eat healthy, I’m a vegetarian and so I eat a lot of fruit and veggies, but I don’t think I get enough protein. Also, I’m on my schools cross-country team and we run…well it changes every day but right now between 2-5 miles daily. Oh yeah, one more thing.I’m seriously considering starting swimming, not on a competitive team but just to get some more exercise…any advice on that?

A: You are probably in great shape, but maybe a little to skinny. Especially if you are deciding to excercise more. I would say around 2000 calories a day and eat lots of nuts, because they are protein too. Good Luck!
