A. A balanced diet for a 5-year-old girl should include a variety of nutrients to support her growth, energy needs, and brain development. Here’s a sample daily diet plan: --- Morning (Breakfast) Option 1: A glass of milk (plain or with natural flavoring like turmeric or cocoa) + whole-grain toast with peanut butter or ghee. Option 2: Vegetable stuffed paratha with curd or idli with chutney and sambar. Option 3: Oats or wheat porridge with chopped nuts and fruits. --- Mid-Morning Snack Fresh seasonal fruit (e.g., banana, apple, or orange). Handful of nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds). --- Lunch Option 1: Chapati/rice + dal (lentils) + a portion of cooked vegetables + salad + curd or buttermilk. Option 2: Khichdi with added veggies + ghee. Option 3: Paneer or chicken curry with rice/roti + cucumber slices. --- Evening Snack Option 1: Homemade vegetable or fruit smoothie. Option 2: Whole-grain crackers with cheese. Option 3: A small portion of poha/upma with vegetables. --- Dinner Option 1: Light chapati/rice + mixed vegetable soup. Option 2: Dosa with chutney or plain paratha with dal. Option 3: Grilled or roasted vegetables with a protein source like tofu, fish, or chicken. --- Before Bed (if hungry) A glass of warm milk with a pinch of turmeric or a small banana. --- Key Points 1. Hydration: Ensure she drinks enough water throughout the day. You can also offer coconut water or fresh juices. 2. Portion Size: Adjust portion sizes based on her appetite. 3. Limit Junk Food: Minimize processed foods, sugary snacks, and carbonated drinks. 4. Variety: Introduce new foods slowly to develop her palate and ensure she’s getting all nutrients. 5. Iron-Rich Foods: Include spinach, beetroot, or legumes to prevent defencies
