Answers:

1500 to 2000 is the recommended for adult females, however if you are still growing I should ask the advice of your doctor or school nurse. Eat plenty of fruit and drink milk.

If you are maintaining your weight, then you are eating the right amount of calories. It takes 3,500 calories to make a pound. At your age, good nutrition is extremely important. Poor nutrition in the teen years causes many problems later in life. You can go to the link provided to find out about healthy eating and to build your own meal plan based on guidelines and your personal preferences.

At 5'4" and 120 pounds you are at your correct weight.

I do know for your age a 1500 calorie meal plan is good.

1500-2000
