What does your 14 year old girl eat daily?

[sunnyeyes]

Hi just wondered if you could tell me what your dd eats on a daily basis? I’m just wondering what breakfast, snacks they eat and lunch, dinner etc. Thanks

Today my 14 year DD ate
Breakfast : pain au chocolate + orange juice.
She took a chicken pitta, yogurt, fruit winder, cookies, crackers, strawberries, mini haribo's, crisps and a croissant to school for break, lunch & after school but before further maths snack. Also had orange juice, fruit shoot and a small bottle of full sugar coke to drink.
A slice of lemon drizzle cake when she got home
Dinner: Bacon, chips + bread & butter
Supper: she usually has Nutella on toast
Hot chocolate before bed.

She's a size 8, weighs about 7st

Bloody hell that's a lot of sugar 😳

mine nearly 15. she had bowl of porridge for breakfast. She took blt sandwich, hula hoops, banana and cereal bar to school. When she got home had belvita breakfast bake and is having tempura prawns, potato slices and peas for dinner.I expect she will have a hot chocolate with whipped cream with some oaty biscuits before bed.

DD is 17, maybe close enough. On a school day:
Large coffee, bowl of cornflakes
Bag of cheddars, 1/2 hand sandwich, lots of biscuits, pizza & Lattes cadged from richer friends.
Pringles & junk food
Healthy meal for tea like a roast with roasties, lots vegetables
selection of more biscuits or cake if we have some, maybe hot chocolate

She had less coffee when she was 14yo. She can scoff an entire punnet of grapes or strawberries in one sitting. She likes to buy Active foods or whatever you call those poncy quinoia chia seed rice crisp type things.

13.5 year old dd has:

Ceral, toast with cream cheese or porridge / honey for breakfast

Sandwich for lunch, occasionally takes pasta

Dinner normally meat / fish, potatoes, vegetables, bolognaise, stir-fry. That sort of thing.

A small amount of chocolate after dinner, yoghurt. Pack of crisps a few times a week.

Will eat fruit if nudged to do so, likes bananas.

Blimey Teenagersandfurbabies - have you spoken to your daughter about a balanced diet? She might be slim but unless today was a one off she's eating a horrendous amount of sugar....

Coco pops
Cream crackers with butter, jaffa cake bar & a bag of hula hoops
Jacket spud with beans & cheese
Cadbury caramel

Teenagers, thats a crazy amount of sugar! The drinks alone will destroy her teeth. There's no fruit and vegetables!

My dd is 15, she weighs 8 st 7lb. Is a size 10. She’s lost 2 stone over the last year just by eating healthy foods and not depriving herself of treats (in moderation).

Today she has had:

Breakfast: weetabix with semi skimmed milk

Lunch: wholemeal bread sandwich filled with chicken, lettuce, mayo. Yoghurt, apple. Babybel x2.

Dinner: pasta with Passata, mushrooms and onions, chicken mixed in and some grated cheese on top.

She’s also had a packet of crisps and some rice cakes.

Not a lot of fruit and veg to be honest. By that age my kids had cereal or a croissant before school, a sandwich/salad box plus a bottle of water and a piece of fruit for lunch, a snack on arriving home then a full dinner (at least 3 veg portions. They (now adults are size.

Did your daughter choose herself to lose weight or was there a prompt?

Today dd had porridge for breakfast, she took a homemade rice salad (ham, grated cheese, tomato, peppers) to school with some almonds, and a cereal bar. For dinner she had a large serving of chicken and veg casserole with mashed potato. I expect she will have some cereal for supper.
She is very sport and a very trim size 4/6.

Thank you all, I’m lookimg for ideas to make healthy food so my dd can lose weight without realising too much. Today’s she’s had s choc brioche, crisps, sandwich, carrots, peppami, mini twix, then after school hot choc and shepherds pie with 3 veg. Where can I change?

No prompt, she just decided she wanted to start eating more healthily.
Mainly just cutting out the processed junk she was buying at school and out about with her friends.

15 year old DD eats no breakfast and has a sandwich or pasta school lunch with water. When she comes home she will have a large snack, ie two slices of toast, piece of cheese and two apples. Usual dinner, Tonight was chicken curry with poppadoms, followed by a fruit corner yoghurt and another two apples. Coffee and biscuits later on. She is nearly six foot tall and a size 14.
Dd2 is 13 (nearly 14). She has a bowl of cereal for breakfast, egg sandwich for lunch, same dinner, pudding and tea and biscuits for supper. She also eats three or four apples a day. She is 5'9" and a size 14.

pylons that’s amazing

The sugar and lack of nutrients consumed by teens is depressing

13 yo :-
Bagel and milk for breakfast

Has a cheese and chicken panini for lunch at school canteen
Water to drink
Donut after school as a treat and cup of tea

Homemade pizza for tea with mushrooms ham and olives
Juice

Slim build
She's v good with veg but not fruit
Definitely more adventurous with flavours etc now and will eat most 'adult ' meals
Have to say I can't believe teenagers is a typical daily diet??? That sounds like they've been to a party - cookies haribos and coke in their lunch must be a wind up ?

My DD14:
Generally no breakfast, she is rubbish getting out of bed and I give up shouting! Lunch today, chicken roll, frube, orange, mini cheddars, usually eats rubbish when she gets in (Doritos) tea = stew and dumplings. Someday she eats loads, others not a lot. I will never moan about what she eats as previously anorexic. I think it is a difficult age as their bodies are full on puberty and they need the energy, they balance out eventually!

Dd(15) had cereal and an actimel yoghurt for breakfast.
Filled pasta, 2 mini cucumbers and a lot of blackberries for lunch.
After school she ate a papaya and a caramel water biscuit.
Tea was mince and tatties with broccoli and carrots.
She'll have a glass of milk for supper or a bowl of cereal probably. Or maybe a homemade smoothie with chia seeds and almonds mixed in.

No breakfast , she just won't eat it
Pack lunch
3 mini samosas, oat cereal bar, crisps, water, peashoots
After school
Oat and Apple biscuits made at school in food tech x 3 water
Tea
Jacket potato with cheese, baked beans, green beans and orange juice to drink
Supper
About to eat avocado on toast and frozen blueberries

I find as long as I buy whatever fruit and veg she's into at the moment, then she happily eats a healthy diet. Currently she's obsessed with mango, Peashoots, avocado, frozen blueberries and tenderstem broccoli.
I gave up the battle over breakfast last year, she eats a big brunch at weekends.
She hates sandwiches when they've been hanging around in Her lunch box, so samosas or little pots of houmous and carrot sticks or pasta salad.
She's a size 6/8 and about 5ft 7, does swimming and trampoline and half hour walk each way to school.

DD 14 had today:

2 whole meal pitta breads with melted cheese inside

Marmite and Cheese sandwiches, carrot, cucumber and red pepper sticks, Twiglets, grapes, chocolate orange Nakd bar, square of dark chocolate

Pasta with tomato sauce and bacon, peas, swetcorn, square of dark chocolate, pain au chocolate, apple, protein yogurt

I have a ds (15) 5'12 (skinny men's size small) and a dd (12 but is always mistaken for 16) 5'7 (quite developed size 12).

They have

Breakfast
Ds - sausage rolll/croissant/french toast plus grapes/melon etc.
Dd - egg on toast/ french toast/ avocado bagel plus grapes/melon etc.

Both hate cereals. Seriously?? Are they the only children in the world that hate cereal?

Lunch
Ds - salami roll/ yoghurt / apple / apple juice(5 a day) / chocolate digestive bar
Dd - cheese and cucumber roll / yoghurt / apple / apple juice (5 a day) / chocolate digestive bar

Dinner
Both have similar although dd eats only fish, no meat. I tweak it to suit. So maybe prawn pasta /Bolognese pasta, chicken/prawn curry, bean/meat chilli, fish and chips, sausage and mash, halloumi/meat enchilada, all served with as many veg as I can squeeze in without being noticed. 😱

Snacks
Various trips ( maybe twice a day) to the snack cupboard which could contain anything from crisps to cakes to biscuits to nuts to crackers.

I worry about dd (15) tbh as she doesn't eat that much. Didn't eat breakfast as she can't eat that early. She buys lunch from the nearest supermarket and says they didn't have anything in the hot food bit so she bought a large fruit pot and that's all she had. Had a chicken breast thing with cheesy breadcrumbs and cubed crispy potatoes at dinner. Don't think she had pudding. Strawberry milk to drink at dinner, water at lunch.

dd (17 now) is very tall and a well proportioned size 10 - 12
she is fairly acitve - plays a sport once a week and trains but is 'on the go', doing things most evenings and throughout the weekend.

I cannot get her to eat breakfast usually, but she did take a pear this morning.
I can tell from the lunch payment record she buys herself a cookie most days at morning break.
Dinner time today was a jacket potato and grated cheese.
She usually has a bottle of flavoured water -don't start me on that--
Gets in from school and makes herself a hot chocolate or a cappuccino from a sachet and usually has either a yoghurt (with choc balls or something, not a healthy option ) or more usually a wrapped chocolate biscuit.
Tea has then been a casserole and I suspect she'll have another hot chocolate sometime this evening.

You're right my DD ate an horrendous amount of sugar today but apart from dinner I let her choose what she wants to eat & drink.
Yesterday she had croissant & milk for breakfast. She brought a cookie during morning break. She took a ham salad pitta to school for lunch along with yogurt, grapes & crisps. She took orange juice & a bottle of water to drink.
She had an apple and a flake when she got home.
Dinner last night was spag bol with lots of added veg.
She still had nutella on toast then a hot chocolate before bed.

She has one small filling in a back tooth.
