What should a 3 5 year old eat?
This includes fresh vegetables and fruits, nonfat or low-fat dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheeses), lean meats (chicken, turkey, fish, lean hamburger), and whole grain cereals and bread. At the same time, limit or eliminate the junk food in your child's diet, and get rid of sugared beverages as well.How many meals should a 3 5 year old have?
A healthy energy balance is most likely to be achieved by offering 3 balanced meals a day each containing some starchy carbohydrate food and 2-3 nutritious snacks. Portion sizes should be adjusted to the age and needs of the child. Practical information about food portion sizes for 1-5 year olds is given in Appendix 1.What is the best food for 3 year old?
In fact, most three-year-olds prefer simpler preparation. If you only a few minutes to prepare a meal, try simple meals that include a protein source, whole grain, fruit, vegetable, and dairy. For example, a turkey or peanut butter sandwich, a serving of carrots, an apple, and a glass of milk.- As a guide, plan for your child to have three main meals and 2–3 snacks per day. Try to encourage at least 1½–2 hours between each meal and snack. Try to offer snacks that include fruits, milk products and whole grain cereals.
