 [ Symptoms ] i am 411 17 years old and 100 pounds im trying to loose 5 pounds how many calories should i eat  many calories counter wont go below 1 200 which i know is way to much because i am very short so can any body tell me how much calories should i be eating my goal weight is 94 or 95 [ Disease ] personally you should not be trying to lose any weight    you are at an appropriate weight for your height and five pounds less is not going to change how you look or how your clothes feel it would be more beneficial for you to exercise tone up what you have this way you will look thinner feel better and it will appear that you have lost weight do not let the scale tell you what to do
