MyPlate recommendations are based on age,sex,and activity level.Therefore,the most important information would be that he is training for a marathon.MyPlate gives recommendations for numbers of servings from each food group each day;it does not recommend specific foods,and so allergy information not important because other foods within the food group could be selected.His parents' health problems may help motivate him to make healthy food choices,but this information is not needed to use MyPlate.The number of foods from each food group is not affected by whether foods are home cooked or preprepared.
