Normal Diet For Teens 

o Teenagers are often very busy with school, work, and sports schedules. Help your teenagers plan their day if they are not home for meals. Prepare healthy snacks or packed lunches for them. This will help your teens avoid filling up on "junk" food or high-fat foods. They may need extra snacks to take with them or meals they can prepare quickly.

o Your teenager still learns from your healthy eating habits. Be an example and praise good food choices whenever you can. Avoid criticism. Teenagers can easily become too worried about their body image. If they are eating too much or too little, it can affect their growth. Talk with your doctor if you are worried about your teenager's eating habits.

o Give your teenager at least one serving per day of a high vitamin C food such as citrus fruits and juices, tomatoes, potatoes, and green peppers. Your teenager also needs one serving per day of a high vitamin A food. This includes spinach, carrots, or sweet potatoes.

o Choose lean meat, fish, and poultry foods for your teenager. They are a source of proteins young people need in the period of growth.  Also, give your teenager 2% milk and low-fat dairy foods. Avoid fried foods and high fat desserts, serve them only on special occasions. This will lower the risk of heart disease when your teen is older.
