"What should a minimum calorie intake be?"
As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

it's totally normal for some people to be like that, even though most people aren''t you just have a fast metabolism, and the calories & fat from the most of the food you eat doesn't really turn into fat ...so really your one of the luckky ones : ]
lol I am the same way!! in a way I am thankful but it's probably because you have a fast metabolism I know I do and im a pretty active person so that also keeps me slim and all...
I know a girl just like that, she eats so much but never gains any weight. Personally what I think is that you are young now but when you get older all that weight will show.
Well I don't know, but I am the same way... I'm 15 and I way 89 pounds... But I eat like a pig...LITERALLY... If you ever find out why please let me know!
because you throw it up afterward. or you just really dont' eat as much as you think..
You do a lot of physical activity so the extra calories are never created into fat
Haha I have this problem.. only disadvantage.. I'm 15 and I'm flat chested.. Lol
u most likley have a very high metabolism .
