Approach by best clinical nutritionist in Hyderabad, Telangana:An adolescent girl's development and general health are greatly influenced by her diet. It's crucial to give the proper nutrition throughout this stage to encourage growth, hormonal changes, and avoid long-term health problems. Our intention was to help her make lasting adjustments to her way of life while keeping this and her situation in mind.We created a food plan based on the right energy, protein, and fat requirements for her age. To ensure she received an adequate amount of both macro and micronutrients, we began by making simple changes, such as raising her daily calorie intake to 1400Kcal and including a variety of foods from all the food groups in all of her main meals. We focused mostly on including complex carbohydrates, complete proteins, and healthy fats because she had begun to develop insulin resistance. Her food plan contained whole eggs, whole milk, whole wheat, brown rice, nuts, and cheese, among other things. For a sufficient intake of protein, we added organ meat, paneer, chicken, mutton, and whole dals. We included omega-3-rich foods such flaxseeds, chia seeds, seafood, and walnuts to improve her lipid markers, brain function, and heart health. We also made sure to incorporate enough of the most important nutrients, calcium and iron, in her meal plans in the form of green leafy vegetables, mutton liver, hung curd, etc. We also built fun and tastylunch box recipes like brown rice pulao, Mexican rice, green roti wraps and vegetables salad with cheese for her school.
