This is what i found on teenhealthfx.com:
Eating healthy should be a very important part of your life, but its okay to not eat perfect all the time. Use the food pyramid as a guideline, keeping in mind that each person differs in his or her nutritional needs - especially teenagers. Teenagers need more servings in each pyramid section to fulfill their nutritional requirements, because of growth spurts and physical activity. On the average, teenage females should follow a 2200 calorie-a-day meal plan and teenage males should follow a 2800 calorie-a-day meal plan. **Teenage males and females should have at least 4.5 servings of milk, cheese or yogurt per day!**
Remember as a teen your body is still growing and puberty is happening. The teenage body needs the calories to help in these processes.
