Children and teenagers require more carbohydrates for energy and
protein for growth because they are growing and are more active

fewer calories than muscle does. Staying active and doing muscle-
strengthening exercises keeps muscle mass intact. Recent work with
seniors proves that you can build muscle at any age.
