1 answer

According to the MyPlate plan, an active teenage female would likely consume the most food among the options provided. Teenagers generally have higher caloric needs due to growth and development, and being active further increases those needs. While active individuals typically require more calories, teenage males often consume more food than older males or females due to higher metabolic rates and growth needs. However, given the choices listed, the active teenage female is likely to have the highest food intake relative to her energy expenditure.
