Subject: Nutrition question

Question
I am a 17 years old male, 5'10. Since September I have been overworking myself with intense exercise and limiting my calories to a mere 1200 per day! I have went from 80 kg to 63 kg. Now I want to increase my calories to a healthy daily intake (which is about 2400 calories for my age and height) and continue to exercise daily, but moderately. How do I do this without gaining back the fat I have lost?

Answer
Dear Mike,

That's a great question!!!!!  I recommend you do 60 minutes of exercise a day, which is healthy and essetial for you age.  Also, 2,000 calories a day is what most people do, but if you want to you can try 2200 calories a day, and it will help to redice the amnount you would gain back, if any.  Hope this helps.
