1. Does it matter what I eat?
Yes it does matter what you eat. It's like this. Say you have a car
that needs fuel. Pretend your body is that car for right now. The car
needs food, just like you do, and to do that you have to fill it up
with fuel, just as you do with your body and food.

3. How do food nutrients help my body perform at its best?
Food nutrients help your body by giving you the things your body needs
to run well, much like a car does with fuel.

1. Why is it important for a teenager to eat healthy foods?
It is important for a teenager to eat healthy foods because it is what
you intake that chooses how your life is going to run. If you put fatty
foods, and sugary foods into your body all of the time, you will have
an unhealthy lifestyle. If you put in vegetables and vitamins and
minerals, you will probably have a lot more success with your health in
the long run.

3. What is the recommended intake of a primary (macro) nutrients?
Carbohydrates: 300g
Protein: 50g
Fat: 65g
(Based on a 200 Calorie Intake; for Adults and Children 4 or More Years

5.What specific foods would you avoid and why.
I would avoid really fatty foods and substances, as well as sugary
foods. Both of these types of foods are okay in moderation, but to have
a diet based on these two types of foods is not the way to go. Putting
in fatty and sugary foods in your body will make it go out of whack.
