Adolescent

12-18 Years

This is Max. He is fourteen, and the eldest of the three Tweedie children. Like the rest of the family he needs a balanced diet to help him concentrate in school, and keep him fit for all the sports he likes to play. Many teenagers, particularly girls, don't get enough iron in their diet, so Max makes sure he eats plenty of meat, fish and leafy green vegetables. Protein is important, particularly during a teenager's growth spurt, as is calcium and vitamins C and D. Because Max is so active, he needs lots of energy in his diet. Foods like pasta and bread are good energy foods as they are high in carbohydrate."
