ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist4 years agoA. for healthy weight child should be having a balanced diet having all the food groups
childs daily diet should have:
cereals starch like rice wheat corn , sago, Limited amount of bread
at least 2 servings of good protein like pulses, beans, eggs, soya , milk and Milk products, fish chicken, meat
variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables and green leafy vegetables
energy dense fruits and vegetables like banana , custard apple, Chiku, sweet potato more frequently
Nuts like almond ,dry fruits, peanuts
at least half litre full fat milk which also includes
Milk products. So 1-2 glasses milk and rest as paneer or cheese or curd.
add ghee on top of food to provide more energy
avoid fruit juices and thin soup as they fill up the stomach and provide less nutritionl
don't be tempted to provide energy rich but unhealthy foods like sweet chocolate cake sugary juices avoid intake of junk and packet foods
encourage child to eat variety of food and finish all that is served on plate , picky children are less likely to have optimal health
Children have smaller stomachs than adults and need to eat smaller amounts more frequently.
4-5 meals a day with 2 smaller snacks at regular intervals is good.
