Abstract

Adolescence is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood. At this time adolescents need sufficient nutritional needs to meet their needs. Because at this time the growth and development of adolescents is very fast. The most common nutritional problems in adolescents are energy and protein deficiency, anemia, and deficiencies of various vitamins and minerals.
