A. A wholesome meal plan for a 4-year-old boy should include a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals to support growth and development. Here’s a simple and nutritious meal plan for a day: Breakfast: Oats or Whole-Grain Cereal with milk and a small portion of fruit (such as bananas, berries, or apples). Vegetable Omelette made with spinach, tomatoes, and onions. A glass of milk or yogurt. Mid-Morning Snack: Fresh Fruit like apple slices, orange segments, or a banana. Handful of nuts (like almonds or walnuts) or a few whole-wheat crackers with cheese. Lunch: Rice, Roti (Chapati), or Whole-Grain Bread with: Dal (Lentils) or a vegetable curry. Steamed or sautéed vegetables (carrots, peas, spinach). Grilled or sautéed paneer (or chicken if non-vegetarian) for protein. A small serving of plain yogurt for probiotics. Afternoon Snack: Vegetable Dosa or Idli with chutney. Or, a small smoothie made with milk, banana, and a little peanut butter or almonds. Dinner: Whole Wheat Roti or Paratha with: A protein source such as grilled fish or chicken (if non-vegetarian) or tofu/paneer. Mixed vegetable sabzi (like cauliflower, beans, and potatoes). Lentil soup or a light vegetable soup. Before Bed Snack (if hungry): A glass of warm milk or a small bowl of yogurt with fruit. A small piece of whole-grain toast with peanut butter. Tips: 1. Hydration: Make sure your child drinks enough water throughout the day. 2. Variety: Rotate different fruits, vegetables, and protein sources to ensure balanced nutrition. 3. Portion Size: Keep the portion sizes small and manageable, as children at this age tend to have small appetites. This meal plan ensures a balance of macronutrients and key vitamins and minerals to help your child grow and stay active.
