for energy, after you exercise load up on carbohydrates.
never skip a meal! this actually can slow your metabolism down.
on google, look up a calorie calculator in the internet. based on you personally, it will tell you how many calories you should take in a day.
don't drink coffee-stunts your growth
eat good amount of dairy (for calcium), vegetables and fruit.
take a daily vitamin to help support your immune system.
btw, i would also recommend cliff energy bars after you exercise [ sparkle26's advice column | Ask sparkle26 A Question ]
