My RDA and BMI

My weight is 60 kg and my height is 1.66m. Using the MBI tool, I found out that my BMI is 21.5. (http://www.hpb.gov.sg/HOPPortal/health-article/HPB-039402)


My BMI is in the Low Risk Category and my weight is acceptable for my height. 

I am 13 years old but both my weight and height are not according to any of the category. They are higher than the 16-18 year old girl's category. So I decided to use the 14-16 year old RDA. I am allowed to eat 2.2 mcg of Vitamin B12, 1.2 mg of Vitamin B6, 80 mg of ascorbic acid, 350 mcg of folic acid and 1000 mg of calcium per day. Also, I do light physical activity so my energy intake per day ought to be 2480.
