How much should I eat? O.o

About me (:
Female adolescent, aged 14, height of 160-ish, around 162cm I think, weight 42kg (:
So, according to the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowances), which is the recommended daily levels of nutrients needed for a female of my age group, this is what I need daily:
  • Protein - 66g
  • Iron - 18mg
  • Vitamin A (retinol) equivalent - 725mcg
  • Vitamin D - 2.5mcg
  • Thiamin - 0.86mg
  • Riboflavin - 1.29mg
  • Niacin equivalent - 14.2mg
  • Vitamin B12 - 2.0mcg
  • Folic acid - 200mcg
  • Ascorbic acid - 30mg
  • Calcium - 1000mg
It also said on the website (http://hpb.gov.sg/foodforhealth/article.aspx?id=2652) that females of my age group are around 161cm tall and 52kg. Guess I'm falling short of that criteria ><
