Teenagers are smart enough to appreciate the benefit of a healthy diet, but they are also easilytemptedby fast and tasty junk food. The trick of creating a weekly meal plan for teens is to include plenty of nutritious substitutes for sugary foodsladenwith empty calories. Pick a few basic menus for each meal.

It's tough to monitor a teen's diet, particularly when he eats away from home. Include your teen in the planning process, write down the plan and shop for all the ingredients for the week ahead of time. Focus your plan on the calorie needs of your teen. Caloric intake for teens varies, depending on age,gender, fitness level and the goal of weight loss. Keep in mind that teenagers need at least five servings of vegetables and fruit per day, and more is even better. Since snacking is an important element in a teen's diet, offer fruits and vegetables as snack sources.

Teens who eat breakfast do well in school and tend to eat healthier for the rest of the day, according to the Nemours Foundation, a nonprofit organization that focuses on children's health. Pick easy and fast items for breakfast so you don't have to give a lot of thought to what to eat on busy mornings.

Teens need plenty of whole grains every day, so whole-grain toast with peanut butter is a good choice. Add a glass of skim milk （脫脂乳） and a piece of fruit for calcium and vitamins. Yogurt mixed with granola （格蘭諾拉麥片） and berries is quick. On weekend mornings, try a scrambled-egg sandwich on a whole-wheat roll for your active, growing teen with a hearty appetite.

Sending your teen a home-made lunch to school is the best strategy for good nutrition. Make sandwiches with lean, sliced turkey. Add loads of vegetables and use whole-grain bread. For teens who aren't interested in sandwiches, make chicken salad with oranges and creamy dressing or send a piece of cold, baked chicken. Stick to your meal plan and assemble lunches the night before. Load at least half of your teen's dinner plate with vegetables and fruits. Consider mixing them with whole grains for visual and taste appeal.
