Counting Calories


As an athletic teen girl you need a certain amount of calories in your diet.  It is recommended that an athletic teen girl needs and intake of 1800 to 2500 calories.  Although, this is just an estimate.   The recommended intake of calories will vary depending on your weight, age and muscle mass.  You should get about 50% to 60% of you calories from carbohydrates, 20% to 25% of your calories from fat and 10% to 15% of your calories from protein.
