how many meals should you be eating a day as a 13 year old girl? i eat 1 meal a day and my parents say i’m not eating enough.
It's really important to eat enough food to fuel your body and give it the nutrients it needs to grow and develop. You should be eating around 3 meals a day, plus some healthy snacks in between if you're hungry. Eating just 1 meal a day is not enough to give your body the energy it needs, and can lead to problems like feeling tired, weak, or dizzy. It's great that your parents are looking out for you and encouraging you to eat more - try to listen to them and make sure you're getting enough food each day. If you're struggling to eat more, it might be helpful to talk to a doctor or a nutritionist for some advice. Hope this helps! 🌟
