Hi, Alex! You are smart to check this out. First, what does your doctor say? Does he/she agree with your parents? The very best think is to translate this info to your units of measure:

Look here to find what you should eat(and it should NEVER be less than 1,000 calories a day!) Getting to Your Healthy Weight - The Nutrition Source - Harvard School of Public Health

Healthy Eating Pyramid - What Should You Eat? - The Nutrition Source - Harvard School of Public Health

I will attach what I did and trust you will stick around and learn to nourish your body. It's the only one you will ever get!

Although I use both Stones and lbs, dependant on who I am talking to.

(my nice digital scale does lb, kg, and stone)

I do not think stones are an accurate measure seem rather strange to me. I mean what if you weigh 100lbs. This has to stem from the Middle Ages

Ha! You are right. Thing is that it seems 'normal' to guage in whatever measuring units one is used to.

For other parts of the world, English ways are the very hardsest. It would be nice if only ONE way to measure was in existense!
