Caloric Intakes


The caloric intake for a teenager, varies way off from that of an infant or an adult. Because the teenage years are the period of highest growth, the caloric requirements, especially for active strength based athletes, are much higher than that of any other age group. The recommended caloric intake for an active teenager is 3000-4000 calories per day due to the amount of physical activity performed during the course of each day.

It's sounds great so far! What you may need, though is to include more of an intro about what caloric intakes measure and what calories are. It would give a good insight to the reader about what they are eating and how they can become healthier by watching these calories. Other than this, though, it looks great!
