This is a period of rapid growth. They therefore need proper feeding. Their food should be rich in protein, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins.

  1. ADOLESCENT GIRLS

They require increased intake of iron. This is to make up for that which they lose monthly during menstruation. Insufficient supply of iron in the girls diet can result in anaemia

  1. ADULTS

Members of the group have reached maturity and stopped growing. They therefore require food for energy and maintenance rather than for growth. The following are special groups of adults

  • The Manual worker: they do strenuous jobs such as farming, grass or wood cutting, mining e.t.c. this jobs require expenditure of excess energy. Therefore, they require increased intake of energy foods.
  • Sedentary worker: Sedentary work is not strenuous. It involves sitting down. E.g. writing, working in office, selling goods in a shop e.tc. They do not require much energy foods in their diet.
