3-Day meal plan





- The active teen expends a lot of energy throughout the day, more so than the idle teen. So, it would make sense that the active teen needs a larger energy source. This is why our 3-day meal plan has a high amount of carbohydrates, the body's energy source.
- You will notice that the proteins are more focused towards the latter meals. This is because the active teen's body needs to recover and rebuild after a day of heavy activity. This is done with proteins.
