calorie levels for teenagers???

[Brandee]

I have had a 16-year-old join our newest session. From past experience with Weight Watchers, I know that she should probably have more calories than an adult. Has anyone dealt with this issue and what guidance can you give me on the appropriate calorie-level for her? She weighs 152. Thanks and God Bless!

Do you have the new Youth Resources aimed at 11-18 yr olds? they are available at the Resources link. The Youth Leaders Guide has the information and the youth studies are aimed for the youth. You may like to get a youth group started. Gospel light and first Place have produced Food Live It Plan Wallet for the Youth for them to have their own way of doing Live It Plan with Exchange cards so the youth can keep track of their exchanges a little easier. THey are not that expensive and a great investment.

I dont have the youth leader book in front of me but will find it and let you know
