Is Your Adolescent Fuelling Their Huge Demands for Health & Wellbeing, Growth & Development and Their Activity?
Get trusted advice on how to jampack your adolescents plates and lunchboxes with the energy and nutrients they need, in a simple and doable way.
Why Proper Nutrition Matters for Active Teens
Adolescence is one of the most critical periods of growth and development - physically, mentally, and emotionally
Your adolescent is in a powerful phase of growth and development - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Because of this, even without sport, their energy and nutrient needs are high. Add in regular training or activity, and those demands increase significantly, and the consequences of not meeting them are even greater.
They’re also impressionable. Their beliefs about nutrition, exercise, body image, and themselves are beginning to solidify, and these beliefs can last a lifetime. With social media and peer influences stronger than ever during this stage, it's crucial that they receive messaging that is factual, positive, relaxed, and nurturing.
We want them to feel confident and supported — not confused or stressed — when it comes to fuelling their bodies and minds, now and into adulthood.
Fuelling well helps active adolescents feel their best, play their best, and develop into strong, healthy adults.
The Power of Proper Fuelling
Purposeful nutrition builds strong bodies, focused minds, and lifelong habits.

Injury & illness prevention

Feeling Lost When It Comes to Feeding Your Teen?
With so much information out there, it’s hard to know what’s right for your active teen. We’re here to help.
The challenge is often:
❌ Lack of awareness about their true energy needs
❌ Lack of knowledge on how to fuel appropriately
❌ Exposure to “energy reduction” messaging designed for the general population — not our super active, growing teens
Jampacked can help by giving you:
✅ Clarity on what they really need for health, growth, and performance
✅ The knowledge and practical strategies to meet the demands of their growing bodies — simple, doable, and impactful
✅ An understanding of how their needs differ from yours, siblings, or peers — plus confidence with lunchboxes, meals, and snacks
