Question
A mother of a 9-year-old girl is seeking advice on nutritional supplementation. Currently, the girl’s breakfast includes Mengniu breakfast milk, lunch is a stir-fried dish, and dinner is relatively simple. The mother wants to know how to arrange each meal for her daughter to ensure a balanced diet.
Answer
Nutritional intake for children should be rich and comprehensive. Recommended dietary combinations include high-protein foods such as lean meat, liver, chicken, fish, shrimp, dairy products, eggs, soybeans, and soy products, with daily protein intake maintained at 80-100 grams. At the same time, adequate carbohydrate intake should also be ensured, including grains and cereals, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. In addition, an appropriate amount of fat intake is necessary, with plant-based fats like soybean oil, vegetable oil, peanut oil, and olive oil being more suitable for children. With these suggestions in mind, a balanced diet plan can be formulated for the child to promote healthy growth.
