What to Eat. Most teens need five to ten servings of grains or starchy foods per day, two to three servings of fruit, three to five servings of meat or other protein-rich foods, two to three servings of vegetables, four to five servings of dairy and two to four servings of fat each day.
The adult recommendation for the daily diet is 45 to 65 percent carbohydrate, 10 to 35 percent protein and 20 to 35 percent fat. Children and teens need slightly more dietary fat than adults because fat is essential for brain development and adolescent growth.
