ExpertDr Laxmi Chavan-SawantAyurvedic Gynaecologist 2 years agoA. 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.
Author of questionMom of a 10 yr 9 m old boy2 years agoA. 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.
