when preparing dinner for their children, parents should make careful arrangements and cook some foods that are easy to digest and moderate in calories, such as bean products, lean meat, fish, fungi and vegetables. Don't let your child eat too much at dinner. Let your baby drink a cup of hot milk before going to bed.

it is best to add fruit to the baby's extra meal in the morning.

Many children like to eat sweets in the afternoon, so besides preparing fruit for him, you can also give him a small cup of fruit yogurt or a piece of fruit pudding.

Nutrition experts think it is allowed to let children eat a piece of cake or bread with raisins occasionally in the afternoon. Children can get 1% of their daily energy from desserts. This is equivalent to an ice cream ball and two teaspoons of jam. If children are used to eating some milk products when they add meals in the afternoon, it's better to be liquid, such as milk and yogurt, because these are easier to absorb.

In addition, children who do a lot of exercise can be allowed to eat some peanuts, cashews, almonds and walnuts, which are rich in B vitamins, vitamin E and protein, and help to restore the baby's physical strength, but the amount should be appropriate, not too much.

4 misunderstandings

1. Children should eat meat every day

Wrong. Vegetarian diet will make people healthier, and it is suitable for people of all ages, even children and pregnant women, when paying attention to supplementing iron, zinc and vitamin b12. Of course, children don't have to eat meat at all. It is enough to eat it two or three times a week. Studies have shown that the probability of colon cancer among meat lovers is on the rise.

2. Soaking rice in soup is easy to digest.

Wrong. Some children don't like to eat vegetables, but they like to soak rice in soup or water. In this way, many rice grains are swallowed before they are chewed. Children's diet should be diversified in color and variety, and mixed with meat and vegetables, so as to ensure adequate intake of protein, fat, sugar, vitamins and minerals every day.

3. Children should eat less at dinner

Wrong. Eat less for dinner "is for adults, especially the elderly, but it is another matter for children." Children are in a vigorous period of growth and development, and both physical growth and brain development need a lot of nutrients to supplement them. The interval between dinner and the next morning is about 12 hours. Although there is no need to supplement food during sleep, the growth and development of children will not stop for a moment, even at night, and they still need certain nutrients. If you eat too little and too bad dinner, you can't meet this demand. In the long run, it will affect the development and growth of children. It can be seen that children should not only eat less dinner, but also eat well. If children are overweight or even obese, they should adhere to the principle of "eating less at dinner", but this "less" means less calories, not reducing the number.
