A 12-year-old should aim to get 9-12 hours of sleep each night to ensure they are getting enough rest and meeting their developmental needs.
Vegetarians should eat a variety of foods in order to get all nine amino acids. Examples include eating dairy products, nuts, rice, and assorted beans.
More restaurants should cater to vegetarians.
Consume fewer calories than you typically burn in a day. Also, vegetarians need to make sure they are getting enough protein and essential fatty acids; a combination of nuts, legumes, and whole grains can help ensure this. Legumes should always be eaten with whole grains; together, they provide a complete protein.
Hidden meat products are in apparently vegetarian products--for example Yoplait yogurt has gelatin in it which is derived from animal tissue. Hot Cheetos probably has pork flavoring (except the giant puffs). Also, vegetarians need to be careful not to overdo the simple carbohydrates (easy on the ice cream!) and get enough protein, iron, and vitamin B12.
There are many minerals and nutrients that vegetarians risk not getting enough of. Calcium - Found in dairy, can also be found in leafy greens and some nuts and seeds. Iron - Found in meat, can also be found in dark leafy greens and nuts and fortified cereals. Vitamin B12 - Almost exclusively found in animal protein, a supplement should be taken. Vitamin B6 - Again, a supplement should be taken. Protein - Found abundantly in meats and eggs, can be found in nuts, beans, and certain grains, small amounts in fruits and vegetables.
A 12-year-old should ideally go to bed between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM to ensure they are getting enough rest for their age and development. This allows for around 9-10 hours of sleep, which is recommended for children in this age group.
Ask your doctor if you are overweight. Ensure that you are getting enough sleep, exercise and a variety of foods

Food derived from plants and not from animals. Many vegetarians also eat foods that do not require slaughter of an animal such as dairy products, eggs and honey, but many vegetarians don't eat those foods. Be sure to get enough protein--you can get it from dairy products, eggs, nuts and seeds, whole grains and beans. A common nutritional error for vegetarians (and non-vegetarians) is eating too many refined carbohydrates.
They shouldn't. The parents should give them structure by having the same bed time, at least on all school nights, to help ensure they are getting enough sleep and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Plan for about 1 to 1.5 pounds of turkey per person to ensure there are enough leftovers.
