How many calories do I need in a day?
The calorie intake for every age group is different. For boys ages 11-13 the recommended amount is 2600 calories a day and a boy who is 14-18, 2200 to 3200 calories are needed. But if you're a girl the numbers go down, a girl who is 11-13 should get about 1800 to 2200 calories and a girl who is 14-18 should get 1800 to 2400 calories per day.

Reflection
2. A habit that I think that I need to work on is having more physical activity throughout the day. I think that I spend too much time indoors watching tv instead of doing something productive like playing outside or going for a bike ride.
