I was wounding about many calories does a body burn a day. Ok lets say my body. 4'11'' 103lbs, 16 years old, and a girl. how many calories does my body burn a day. I have problems with my weight. It goes up and down all the time. from 94lbs to 105lbs. I'm sick of it and I just want to know how many calories my body burns off a day by just living.
Thanks
Cherish.

Weight varies for everyone, depending on how much water is on your system and other daily variances. While a 9 pound variance may seem like a lot for your small body, it may be perfectly normal.
How many calories you burn depends on how active you are. Most people have a basic need of 1200 calories to keep up normal functions like breathing, heart beat and digestive and nervous system functions.

I'm around 5' in height, and my weight is about the same as yours, too. My body burns about 400-500 calories a day, even if I don;t exercise.
