Calculate the correct amount of protein. According to Drugs.com, 12- to 14-year-olds should consume approximately 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight each day. Girls aged 15 to 18 need slightly less protein, or 0.9 grams per kilogram of body weight. Find out how many kg your teenager weighs by dividing her weight in pounds by 2.2. For example, if your 13-year-old weighs 100 pounds, she weighs 45.5 kilograms, and should consume about 45 grams of protein each day.

The recommended dietary allowance of protein for teenage boys age 14 to 18 is 52 grams per day, or 0.85 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day, according to the Institute of Medicine. This is equivalent to about 0.39 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day.or example, a 125-pound, 15-year-old male athlete may require 56 to 85 grams of protein per day, depending on the duration and intensity of his physical activity.
