We spent a few days on nutrition. But health class was focused mostly on std's. I vaugly remember the food pyramid and thinking "gee that's a lot of bread!" I vaugly remember that women supposedly needed 2000 calories and med 2500 a day. So I never learned in school about individual caloric needs. I learned a pound of fat was roughly 3500 calories. And I felt very confused on proper nutrition in general.
I learned a lot after leaving high school. I did a lot of research. I learned about individual calorie needs, how they can be very different based on height, weight and activity level. I learned how to properly measure my food. I had to search this out because what I was taught was inadequate.
