1, providing enough heat energy.
In the morning, children's activities consume a lot of energy. In addition to the energy consumed by activities, they also need a lot of nutrients for growth and development.
Therefore, it is extremely important to provide children with adequate breakfast in time. Arranging breakfast for children must be made up of starchy foods, such as steamed bread, porridge, cakes, steamed dumplings and other staple foods, which is more conducive to the utilization and absorption of other nutrients and to promoting the growth and development of children. Generally, the heat energy of children's breakfast accounts for 20% of the total heat energy in a day.
2. Increase the amount of protein.
Protein is the material basis of life and one of the most important nutrients in children's growth and development, but the body can't store too much protein and needs to be replenished in time. We should selectively increase high-quality animal raw materials from protein for our children, arrange eggs or meat, beans and bean products from high-quality plants from protein for breakfast every day, and often arrange onion and beef steamed bread, carrot and chicken steamed bread, soy bean with meat sauce, Kaiyang stewed pork shreds and cream steamed buns to meet the basic requirements of children's healthy growth.
3. Choose a reasonable collocation.
Children's breakfast directly affects their health. Therefore, when preparing breakfast for children, we should pay more attention to the collocation of various foods, and it is also important to replenish water for children. The combination of dry and wet is beneficial to the absorption of various nutrients in food, such as milk and fruit cake; Rice porridge with pork floss and jujube Xiang Lian Bao Yun; Red bean rice porridge with steamed dumplings of onion and beef, shredded pork with boiled quail eggs are beneficial to children's digestion and absorption.
Because children have small stomachs and should not eat too much at a time, we pay more attention to the nutritional value of breakfast. Through the combination of rice flour and coarse grains, especially coarse grains are rich in B vitamins, and vitamin B 1 is a nutrient that children are easy to lack. So we let our children eat some rice, noodles, corn, glutinous blood, rice, yellow rice, beans, potatoes and other foods to get comprehensive nutrition. Mixed eating of flour rice and coarse grains can complement each other, give full play to the complementary role of protein in food, and improve the utilization rate. For example, the combination of coriander, thin millet porridge, blood glutinous rice lotus root corn soup and sweet potato seedless jujube dew can promote children's growth and development.
4. The variety is rich and diverse.
The type of breakfast is one of the factors that affect children's appetite. No matter how high the nutritional value, a single variety and monotonous taste of breakfast can not stimulate children's appetite. Only by preparing breakfast with rich taste and variety can we attract children and stimulate their appetite. Enrich the taste of children's breakfast through sweet and salty collocation, and arouse children's interest through snacks of different shapes. When arranging children to eat sweet porridge and sweet soup, add salted and dried points; When eating salty porridge, salty soup and noodle soup, please prepare sweet dry noodles. There are also rice porridge with proper amount of nutritious cooking and cupcakes; The combination of rock sugar, tremella, white glutinous rice porridge, kelp, small fresh meat, moon bud crisp jiaozi, coriander porridge and salted eggs, rabbit meat steamed stuffed bun with pine nuts and bean paste forms a nutritious food for children with rich tastes and different shapes.
In short, attention should be paid to children's breakfast with sufficient heat energy, appropriate protein, reasonable collocation and various varieties. Preparing a nutritious breakfast with rich taste and various colors suitable for children's growth and development can promote children's healthy growth.
