ive changed my workout schedule...

Question
i've changed my workout schedule again. because the last one wasn't working. ... I dont know if i've already asked you, but...
can you tell me if this is good or bad...
im 16 years old...i run 60 minutes 6 days a week, lose around 900 calories per run. eat 1400 calories per day, 300 calories every 3 hours. would it be bad if i go to 1200 calories...my guess is yes...?
sorry if i've asked you this question before...if i have, then you can just forget about my question. gratzi

Answer
Sounds to me like you are micromanaging your calories a bit too much.  Keep in mind those are ALL just estimates.  Your exercise is fine and with all you do I would NOT go to 1200 calories per day.  In fact you should be getting more than 1400 calories per day for your age and activity level.  Instead of worrying about calories just eat a healthy diet and concentrate more on getting foods from ALL of the food groups each day!  Concentrate on eating healthy most of the time and don't worry so much about your calorie intake!  Getting obsessive about exactly what you are taking in and what you are burning can be dangerous to your mental health and can lead to eating disorders.  
Hope that helps,
