Calcium intake is a concern for teenage girls because their intake of calcium-rich foods is often inadequate;this is especially true of girls engaged in sports such as gymnastics,who may try to limit their food intake to maintain a competitive weight.Adolescent girls and boys have the same calcium needs,but adolescent boys are more likely to have adequate intake because they eat more food;this is especially true for boys involved in sports such as football,who tend to eat large amounts of food.A toddler who drinks milk rather than eating food would have a good calcium intake but may have an inadequate iron intake.A school-aged child who receives free school breakfast and lunch would receive milk with both meals and so would be less likely to have an inadequate intake of calcium.
