Each day, kids need to eat about 0.5 grams of protein for every pound (0.5 kilograms) they weigh. That's a gram for every 2 pounds (1 kilogram) you weigh. Your protein needs will grow as you get bigger, but then they will level off when you reach adult size. Adults, for instance, need about 60 grams per day.
Regardless, the teen runner will need 0.5 to 1 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. So if your child weighs 120 pounds, he should have a daily protein intake of 60 to 120 grams of protein. Examples of proteins are fish, meat, and tofu. To reach this protein requirement, a teen runner should eat between 200 to 400 grams of meat and fish.
