Here’s a 1-day meal plan for a teenager who wants to limit their carbohydrate intake:

Breakfast: - Scrambled eggs with vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms) - A side of avocado slices - A cup of herbal tea or black coffee

Snack: - Greek yogurt with a handful of mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, and cashews)

Lunch: - Grilled chicken breast with a side of steamed broccoli and cauliflower - A small green salad with olive oil and lemon dressing

Snack: - Sliced cucumber and carrot sticks with hummus

Dinner: - Baked salmon fillet with lemon and dill - Roasted Brussels sprouts and asparagus - A side of quinoa or brown rice (optional, for those who want a small amount of carbs)

Snack: - A small handful of berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)

Note: It’s important to remember that carbohydrates are an essential part of a balanced diet, especially for teenagers who need energy for growth and development. However, if you’re looking to reduce carb intake, it’s best to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian to ensure you’re still meeting your nutritional needs.
