Teenagers' diets should sustain growth and promote good health. During this time, a
number of physiological changes occur that affect nutritional needs, including rapid
growth and considerable gains in bone and muscle (especially in boys). This is also a time
_____________ teenagers begin to develop real independence from their parents,

will start feeling sick. Look at some of my advices and try to make a good decision:
Do not skip any meal, if you do not eat at the right time youll be so hungry that you will
eat a bigger quantity of food _____________ the one you really need.
