    Currently, our program is designed for members who are 18 or older and is geared to their nutritional needs. Due to information found in our program as well as the nutritional guidelines, the program is not yet designed it to be easily modified to support the needs of younger members.

    When you first create your profile, we base your daily goals on all the information asked for, i.e., your age, height, weight, gender, and activity level. We then calculate your goals based on all this information. For members under the age of 18, this information may vary. If the wrong age is entered in, this will project inaccurate calculations, which may cause potential issues.

    We would kindly ask that you forward the above to your child's dietician so that they refrain from providing this suggestion in the future, as it is a breach of our Terms of Service.
