Young teens and diet

QUESTION

I have my children eating real food and would like to know if there any special considerations to young teens going through, let’s say for instance, puberty. Since their brains are still growing at same time their bones are growing. Is there a book that I could read to help know more pertaining to young teens?

ANSWER

Congrats on feeding your kids healthy foods! I would simply encourage them to eat a variety of foods and macro nutrients. I am not aware of any solid books pertaining to teen years.
