A)The high metabolism of the typical adolescent raises nutritional requirements. The adolescent growth spurt is accompanied by rapid gains in height and weight. Bodily demands for calories and nutrients increase dramatically during this time. Adolescent girls require about 2200 calories per day, and adolescent boys require about 2800 calories per day. Roughly 50% of calories should come from complex carbohydrates, 30% from fats, and 20% from proteins. Taste preferences are one of the contributing factors to adolescents exceeding fat intake requirements and not getting enough other nutrients or vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
