Life Stage: Adolescence (15 years old) Emily is 15 years old, active in sports, and undergoing rapid growth. She needs higher amounts of calories, protein, and other nutrients than her peers, in order to support her development and athletic activities. She’s also conscious of her appearance and interested in weight management. Global Challenge: Food Insecurity In regions where food insecurity is prevalent, adolescents often lack consistent access to nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, and proteins. Top Tip: You should explore how Emily’s nutrition plan would change in a food-insecure environment and offer solutions for ensuring she gets adequate nutrients.Menu Planning: Design a one-day meal plan based on MyPlate guidelines for your selected life stage. Make sure to use portion sizes (such as cups, 1⁄2 cups, ounces, TBS etc. ). You will also need to make sure you describe the food–for example, is it 6 ounces of baked chicken? Fried chicken? BBQ chicken? Next, modify the meal plan considering the limitations posed by the global challenge. Discuss how the changes impact the individual’s ability to meet their nutritional needs.
