The calorie needs for childen
are different for girls and boys.
Calorie needs for girls are related
to their ideal weight. For example, a girl who is 9 years old
and weighs 70 pounds needs about 1,750 calories per day.
A boy who is 9 years old and
weighs 70 pounds needs close to 2,000 calories per day.
The way we figure this out is
to look at the ideal weight and the growth charts for girls and
for boys. |
