Kids come in all sizes and each person's body burns energy
(calories) at different rates, so there isn't one perfect number of
calories that a kid should eat. But there is a recommended range
for most school-age kids: 1,600 to 2,200 per day. What does 2000
calories look like?
Slide 7
Some people mistakenly believe they have to burn off all the
calories they eat or they will gain weight. This isn't true. Your
body needs some calories just to operate to keep your heart beating
and your lungs breathing. As a kid, your body also needs calories
from a variety of foods to grow and develop. And you burn off some
calories without even thinking about it by walking your dog or
making your bed. But it is a great idea to play and be active for
at least 1 hour and up to several hours a day. That means time
spent playing sports, just running around outside, or riding your
bike Watching TV and playing video games won't burn many calories
at all, which is why you should try to limit those activities to 1
to 2 hours per day. A person burns only about 1 calorie per minute
while watching TV, about the same as sleeping!

Dont Worry Too Much Just remember we and our bodies have an
amazing ability to compensate for occasional holiday overeating as
long as those holidays dont turn into weeks that turn into
months.
Slide 16
Your Diet and Activity Is physical activity an important factor
to your diet? Yes. Physical activity burns calories and can help
balance caloric intakes. An active person requires more calories
than a non active person so this is taken into account when
creating diets. Try to: Engage in physical activity every day
Exercise at a comfortable effort level (this can be moderate, such
as brisk walking) Exercise for a duration of at least 30 minutes
total per day (this can be intermittent, a few minutes here and
there throughout the day)
