I want to lose ten to fifteen pounds really quickly but I cant tell my mom or dad or theyll start watching what I eat. I need low cal snacks that dont say low cal on the box like rice cakes or something. good and low cal, but it doesn't advertise itself as low cal.
"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.

"How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?"
One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.
But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.
There isn't a FAST way to lose 10 to 15 lbs unless your not eating healthy. You can talk to you parents and see if they can buy you some of like the 100 cal snack packs they have like cookies, and crackers ect, ect. Really thats the only thing I can think of . Can you talk to your parents and tell them that you would like to loose some weight and you want to watch what you eat?
