What would be a good calorie intake for my age?

So I'm 14 years old fairly tall but I'm not going to get into specifics. Anyways I looked up my BMI and I, barely not by much out of my wight range. I guess that's when it clicked that's need to loose some weight I have always been skinny now this summer I've gained about 20 making me the heaviest I've ever been. Now since I'm growing the heaviest I've ever been thing is not scaring me that much. So my question is what would be a good daily calorie intake to loose weight. I plan to workout and get toned up too. My goal is to have my weight in the middle area of my BMI. I want to do this safely. I plan to work out and start slowly then built myself up. I'm not going to hard core diet but I'm going to try to stay within. A Christian calorie intake but not worrying about it too much and just trying to make better choices with my health.Btw I'm a girl

How to Burn Body Fat and Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

At our age we're supposed to eat just over 2000 calories but I barely make 1000 because I have a slow metabolism. Use an online calculator to calculate your BMR or Base Metabolic Rate which is the amount of calories needed to run your body for an entire day without moving. Then take around 100 calories off and see how it goes. If you don't lose then take off another 100 and so on.
