Hi, everyone! :smile:
I was just wandering about nutrition for teens.
I've heard that teens need more calories than adults.
I decided to check online, but different sources say different things.
Can someone please tell me what the exact number is, and how many grams of carbs and protein teens need?
Thank you! :wink:

    eta: if you are under 18 years old, you are too young to be on MFP.

    I'm 18 and I need about 1500 calories to maintain my weight. But I'm also only 5'0 :/
