Nutritional requirements are the same for both boys and girls upto the age of years after which there is a change in some of the nutrient requirement for boys and girls. You may recall that the energy requirements for girls remain almost the same throughout but they need increased amounts of protein, iron and calcium to help bone growth and preparation for menarche.
