Nutritional Requirements for Age

For a 13-year-old female, it is important to emphasize the importance of eating a well balanced diet. A balanced diet ensures optimal health and adequate growth and development. The body demands an high caloric intake, Girls require an average of 2,200 calories per day. Nutritional requirements such as energy, protein, calcium, and Iron, and zinc are higher than any time of life. It’s critical to ensure adolescents are meeting the recommended nutritional daily intake. Nutritional deficiencies and poor eating habits can affect adolescents health as an adult.

Calcium: Daily intake should be at least 1300 mg/day

Iron: 8 mg/daily

Protein: 34 g/day

Energy: 2071 kcal/day

Zinc: 8 mg/day

Cultural Influences

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in Cicero IL the highest percentage of population is made up by Hispanic or Latino origin at 89.2% (2019).

Traditional hispanic meals include rice, beans, tortillas, and a heavy use of cooking oil like lard (Mora & Golden, 2017).)

When compared to a typical United States diet, a hispanic diet is higher in fiber, vegetable, protein and saturated fats (Mora, 2017).

When this information is compared to the middle school menu from Cicero, the students should be getting adequate amounts of fiber and vegetable protein from their meals at home.

However, these students are receiving saturated fats from both home meals and meals at school.

Hispanic culture very much revolves around the idea of family first, and it is important to educate family members of the students in maintaining a healthy diet at home.

It is also noted that the acculturated Hispanic population consumes more processed foods, sweets, sweetened beverages, and higher fat intake (Mora, 2017).

Sample Menu

Potential Health Concern

Obesity

Decreased energy level

Iron deficiency

Malnutrition

Body Image

Decreased bone mass

Poor eating habits

Lack of Vitamin D

Nutritional Components of New Food Menu

Increased calorie intake

More fiber-rich foods

More Vitamin D food items

More energy-rich foods

Food items high in vitamins and minerals

Fresh fruit and vegetables

A 13 year old female that is active should consume on average about 2,200 kcal per day (Ellis, E., 2019).

The old menu selection only provided the individual with 512 kcal while the new menu selection provided the individual with a higher calorie intake at 1378 kcal.

During the teenage years especially ages 13-14 in females, the development of bone mass is at its peak. So it is imperative that a well-balanced diet with adequate vitamin D is consumed (Moretto, M. et al.,2011).

The new menu had an increase of Fat, to 93%, which is essential in supplying the body with energy.

The new menu offers food items that provide adolescents with adequate vitamins and minerals for optimal development

Retrieved from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3178934/#_ffn_sectiltle

A 13 year old female’s fat intake should be anywhere between 25-35% of total calorie intake daily. Looking at the new menu the individual’s fat intake was 32%, 446.2 kcal/1378 kcal. The fat that is consumed supplies the body with energy and helps the body absorb those fat-soluble vitamin: A, D, E, and K (American Academy of Pediatrics, n.d).

Summary

The current school menu does not include healthy items for children to be consuming daily

It would be improved if fresh fruits and vegetables were included, as well as plant-based proteins.

There are cultural influences that sway a decision when it comes to lunch options to choose from

There are many barriers to discuss when it comes to the lack of healthy food choices

Lack of knowledge of myPlate and how to balance a diet

Socioeconomic factors like obesity and a low-income neighborhood

Health is not a priority in this community, evidenced by the quality of school lunches and childhood obesity rates

Nutritional requirements for the target age are not being met
