Abstract

Adolescent is a developmental transition between childhood and adulthood (Diane et al, 1992). The rate of growth during this period is extremely rapid, second only to that in the first year of life, this their nutrient requirement in this stage is greatly increased (Onyeananam an Asinobi, 2009;W.H.O (2005). Optimal nutrition is requisite for achieving full-grwon potential and failure to consume adequate diet in this period can result in poor physical and mental growth, delayed or poor sexual maturation. Nutrition is also important during this time to help prevent adult diet-related diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and osteoporosis. They have a low prevalence of infection compared with the under-five children, and chronic disease compared with aging people, hence given little health and nutrition attention (Senderowitz, 1995; Diane et al, 1992), except for reproductive health concerns. They stay most part of the day away from home, skip meals and snacks most part if the day consuming high calorie drinks and pastrieslow in protein, calcium, ascorbic acid, and iron and zinc, which are essential for their growth and development.
