Daily caloric requirements for athletic teens depend greatly on your age and gender.
For a 11-18 year old girl, you should have about 2200 calories a day.
If you are an 11-14 athletic boy, you should have about 2500 calories a day. however, if you are 15-18 years old, you should have about 3000 calories a day.
to calculate your minimum caloric needs, first:
1) Multiply total weight X % body fat = fat weight
2) subtract fat weight - total weight = lean mass
3) lean mass X16 = minimum caloric needs
Example: Teenager that is 115 lbs and has 15% of body fat.
1) 115 X 15=1725
2) 1725 - 115=1610
3) 1610 X 16=25760
This would mean that this teenager needs a minimum of 25760 calories each day.

I liked how you put in all the numbers and calculations. I'd like to know what sight you used to get the information I think that's all that's missing the url. But other than that great information.
