A)Adolescence is a time of identity formation, and adolescents align with peers in regard to food selection. Keeping food diaries and monitoring the nutrient content and caloric values of food intake are helpful behavior modification strategies, but these don't take into account the age of the client, and studies on food consumption show that caloric information or nutrient content is not a major consideration in choice among adolescents. Parental food choices can have a strong impact on adolescents, but some adolescents rebel against these food choices, positively or negatively, and eating with the rest of the family is only beneficial if the family's habits are healthy.
