[quote=Anonymous]OP, I would be concerned. Active teenagers don't get that the low-carb, low-calorie rules don't apply to them. it is one thing to be aware of your diet at that age, but a complete other thing when you are tracking calories. Maybe have her talk to a nutritionist or dietitian? Is she playing a spring sport? Maybe you can talk to the coach about brining one in to talk to the team? I played sports in college and someone came and talked to all the female athletes. She told us something like 60% of Division I female athletes had some form of eating disorder, and that girls who played sports were more likely to have one than girls who didn't. I found it odd becuase the girls playing sports were more fit, but she said it is becuase we feel the need to "maintain" a certain image. Bottom line, if you feel something is not right, it ususally isn't. Trust your motherly instincts. [/quote]
