How many calories the average teenage girl should be eating? On average the American teenage girl is recommended to eat 2000 calories of balanced nutrients and foods daily. This is what is recommended by doctors and nutrition specialist but of course not every girl is the same, so therefore what any teenage girl consumes will be different from what any other will, but this standard is what is recommended for all teenage American girls. What can affect the amount of calories needed for a girl, would be their age, body type, and activity level. For example the average 17 year old girl will eat more calories than the 14 year old average girl size of their bodies, and how many more nutrients that 17 year old will need to grow and be healthy than that 14 year old will. Also, the heavier,larger, taller girl with perhaps more fat, will eat more than the smaller, shorter, girl with less fat because of their different levels of metabolism and their need for more or less nutrients. And finally the girls who work out more and does a lot of activity will need to eat more food for energy to do their activities. Also they'll need more proteins to rebuild their muscles that have been worn down from working out. The intensity and and frequency and time of the work outs also plays a role in how much food that girl will eat, whether they're eating for proteins and strength or for more energy aerobic exercises.

This is confusing to me: "For example the average 17 year old girl will eat more calories than the 14 year old average girl size of their bodies, and how many more nutrients that 17 year old will need to grow and be healthy than that 14 year old will."
