A. If your child's diet includes eggs, lean meats and/or fish, and dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt on a daily basis, then they are likely meeting their protein needs regularly. Soy, beans, lentils, peas, nuts, seeds, and whole grains like amaranth and quinoa are also high-quality proteins that can serve as vegetarian sources of protein. Your child can meet daily protein needs from animal sources, plant sources, or a combination of the two.

A. thanks Sonam for advice, but I am personally not in favour of serving bread, pasta or noodles even of wheat. cheese is also a processed food with salt which does not have proven effects. ricota or paneer is a better option instead.

A. hi dear Healthy, balanced diet at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day. meals based on starchy foods, such as potatoes, bread, pasta and rice (choose wholegrain varieties when possible) some milk and dairy products or alternatives (choose low-fat options where you can) vegetables, legumes and beans. cereals (including breads, rice, pasta and noodles), preferably wholegrain. lean meat, fish, poultry and/or alternatives. milks, yoghurts, cheeses and/or alternatives (children under 2 should have full-fat milk, but older children and adolescents can have reduced-fat varieties)
