A chart of how many calories an average teenager your age should consume per day.
This chart includes how many serving of which food group you should consume to
meet your calorie needs.
Directions: I want you to pretend that you are ordering
fast food from any restaurant of your choice. You are going to write down what
you would order. You will do this for breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner. Write
down honestly what you would order if you were to eat at that restaurant in the
space provided below. You must go to three different restaurants (one for
breakfast, lunch and dinner). You will then write down how many calories and
how many grams of fat are in each item you chose. You must include a drink at
each meal even if it is water. Once you are finished calculate the totals of
each meal or snack. You do not need to fill all the spaces below, just record
what you would normally order.

1. Were you surprised how many calories were in any of the
