Children food pyramid is a food guide designed by the US Department of Agriculture. The pyramid shows the five major food groups child needs to stay healthy, nourished and strong. In addition to different food groups are the corresponding dose sizes recommended by day depending on the age of the child. Look at what spot:
Grains: 3-5 ounces (2-8 years), 5-7 ounces. (9-18 years old)
Vegetables: 1-1.5 cups (2-8 years), 2.5-3 cups (9-18 years)
Fruits: 1.5 cups (2-8 years), 1.5-2 cups (9-18 years)
Dairy: 2 cups (2-8 years), 3 cups (9-18 years)
Group Protein 4/2 oz (2-8 years), 5-6 ounces. (9-18 years old)
The above points are the easiest way to trace how much of each food group your child should eat to stay healthy. You can read nutrition labels on packaged food back so you know how many ounces are in a serving. This will help you maintain and monitor the daily consumption of your child.
Try to make half of your grain products "whole grain". The bat, however, brown rice, whole wheat bread, whole wheat pasta, oatmeal and whole foods are. If your child is not a fan of milk, try to get them to eat yogurt, orange juice fortified with calcium, or cheese. If your child loves milk, however, change for skimmed milk at the age of three years, this will reduce your fat intake.
Remember that these are not super strict rules. Have more fruits and vegetables than the recommended daily portion is normal. If you look at the food pyramid for kids, you will see that there are sugary foods, processed meats, junk food, desserts, soft drinks or beverages that can be found. To reaffirm and clarify: there is no problem as long as you do not eat every day.
