[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My competitive athlete (16) saw a nutritionist who said that out of the 1300mg/day of calcium that teens need, only 1/4 of that should come from actual milk. 8oz of milk = roughly 300 mg of calcium. The rest of their calcium intake should come from yogurt, cheese, nuts (almonds), kale/spinach/broccoli/beans, etc. She said that teens regress and get into the bad habit of using milk as a meal replacement almost like when they were babies. It's quick to grab and fills them up after practice, but then causes them to not eat a balanced meal. [/quote] It depends on the person. My child drinks a huge class of milk at every meal and also eats a reasonable meal. Its easy for teens who don't have pre-made food and are in school and activities but it isn't the milk that is the issue vs. either them or someone making a real meal.[/quote]
