Teens generally do not need to consume as much protein compared to adults because their bodies are still developing and their overall growth may require a balanced intake of other nutrients, such as carbohydrates and fats, for energy. Additionally, many teens have sufficient protein intake through their regular diets, which often include protein-rich foods like meat, dairy, and legumes. It's important for teens to focus on a well-rounded diet that meets their energy needs rather than disproportionately increasing protein intake.
