Schools are not giving people the amount of food that would benefit them. the average high school athlete needs 2000-4000 calories a day, and with the school lunches being almost 500, there is a major problem. under 1000 calories is not going to satisfy a student who have school for at least 7 hours a day, and an athlete who has an extra 2-5 hours of practice. The average person burns around 2000 calories a day by practically doing nothing. Athletes have passed out at practice because they didn't have enough to eat during lunch, and they cant eat a big meal right before practice either.
