But, also those kids are the healthy ones who are suppose to excercise 5 times a week for an hour and most likely play sports, which to all of us means the skinny kids. You won't have a problem if you stick between 1400 and 1800 calories. Never go under 1400 calories a day unless you are supervised by a doctor. Also, try to excercise such as shooting hoops or go for a walk for about a half hour a day all week. I can almost garentee you'll lose some weight doing this and watching what you eat.
