Hi Maggie.You never mentioned your height,but unless you are 4′2″ ,you might be threatening you health by trying to lose this amount of weight.You may want to confer with the school principal in regards to this situation.You are still growing,and need food to supply your body to enable this growing to happen.Maybe this coach might not be the right coach for you or your team.680 is way too low for a growing teen.

the least recommended daily caloric intake ranges from 1200-1800 kcal per day. you are only 15 years old and you shouldnt be pressured to lose that much weight. you are athletic and you need as much energy as you can get to play the game.
maybe your coach needs a reality check!!

That’s not enough…you need at least 1200 cals to function properly.
Get a meal replacement powder from a GNLD store. They taste ok and they’ll really help you to get toned.
As for loosing weight, I don’t think you need to. You’re not a cheerleader.

I hope this is a joke.
That kind of starvation could literally kill you.
Tell your parents about this diet suggestion.
You should probably also notify the school nurse, or principal if there is no nurse.

you need to go to a doctor and see how he feels about this. i doubt he would agree. your coach cant rule your life but he can ruin your health.

Your coach is a moron and should be fired. With all the activity you do you need more calories if anything. 1200 is the minimum and I would suggest that even 1500 is too little for you and your activity level.
Talk to your principal, your parents, etc….This man is not qualified to be a coach. Tell them about the treadmill. That alone proves it.

Okay, I’m sorry, but your coach is a jerk. You should have about 2000 calories a day. If you wanna lose a little bit of weight, cut down your daily calorie intake by 200 calories. But at 132 pounds, you don’t need to lose weight.

I was told you need at least 1200 calories a day or else your body will go into starvation mode and it will store fat. Therefore it will be harder to lose weight. You need to eat five small meals a day to speed your metabolism up and drink eight glasses of water.

Your coach is a Nimrod to starve you this way. Any trainer can tell you that you will lose more weight faster if you eat smaller 4 to 5 meals a day of lean meats, veggies, and fruits. Stay off of the fat, carbs that are made up of pastas, white bread, potatoes, and rice. Eat complex carbohydrates from whole grains. You are still growing, and this is not healthy to do this. To eat less than at least 1800 calories a day while training will cause you to store fat.
