A. For a 5-year-old child weighing 15 kg, it’s essential to focus on a balanced diet that promotes healthy growth and development. Below is a simple and nutritious diet plan that you can follow for your daughter: Morning Milk: A glass of warm milk (200-250 ml) with a pinch of turmeric or a spoonful of almonds powder. Breakfast Options: Oats or whole-grain porridge with fruits. Idli or dosa with chutney. Whole-wheat toast with peanut butter or a boiled egg. Stuffed paratha (potato, paneer, or vegetables) with curd. Mid-Morning Snack A bowl of fresh fruit such as apples, bananas, papayas, or berries. A handful of nuts like almonds, walnuts, or cashews. Lunch Vegetable Khichdi: Made with moong dal and rice, along with finely chopped vegetables. Chapati/Rice: One small chapati with a vegetable curry or dal. Curd/Yogurt: A small bowl of curd for probiotics and calcium. Evening Snack Fruit Smoothie: A smoothie made with milk or yogurt and fresh fruits. Whole-grain biscuits or a small sandwich with cheese or veggies. Sprouts Salad: A bowl of sprouted moong or chickpeas with lemon and seasoning. Dinner Chapati/Rice: 1-2 small chapatis or a small portion of rice. Vegetable Curry: Any seasonal vegetable curry with less oil and spices. Dal: Lentils (dal) for protein intake. Soup: A bowl of vegetable soup or dal soup. Before Bed A glass of warm milk. Additional Tips: Hydration: Ensure she drinks enough water throughout the day. Healthy Fats: Include ghee or olive oil in small amounts in her meals. Iron-rich Foods: Give her iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, and jaggery to support her growth. Proteins: Include sources like paneer, eggs, or legumes daily for adequate protein. Avoid Junk Food: Limit sugary snacks, processed foods, and fried items. This balanced plan will help meet her nutritional needs and promote steady, healthy weight gain. You can always modify it based on her preferences.
