An ideal diet for a 12 year old boy includes a breakfast of toast with raspberry jam, a fried egg and orange juice to provide carbohydrates and energy for school. Lunch should consist of a nutritious salad containing vegetables, salmon or chicken, avocado and tomatoes to deliver nutrients without being too filling. Dinner of homemade spaghetti bolognese made with whole wheat pasta and low sodium tomato paste balances carbohydrates and vegetables for a balanced meal.
