Thank you, little secretary, for the invitation!

When I came back from going out and turned on my computer, I suddenly found an invitation from Secretary Wukong: "How should a mother arrange three meals a day for her child?" It has been a few days since the invitation, so out of respect, I still write down my thoughts. Share it with everyone.

Once I saw this famous saying in a book: "To love someone, start by grabbing his stomach." Later, I saw a short story shared by a netizen on a forum: " An old couple lived downstairs. The man was a retired division-level cadre, and the woman was the chief physician of a large hospital before retiring. Their two children, one was a mid-level cadre in a certain bureau, and the other was studying abroad. One evening in autumn, I saw the old lady drying radishes. I was wondering, does a family like hers still make pickles? I asked her, Aunt Zhang, does your family still make pickles? It's very charming, and she smiles with happiness on her face. She said that your uncle Wang loves to eat the radish pickles I made. He will never get tired of eating them all his life. No matter how busy he was at work in the past, he would have to hang vegetables for him. What's more, now that he is retired, he has Much time. It can be seen from this simple story that for many couples who have gone through decades of hardships together and experienced many ups and downs in their marriages, love may really be reflected in their hearts. , fell into the bowl

Inspired by the above story, here I want to tell mothers: "If you love your children, please please your children's stomach with your heart! ”

As the saying goes: “Eat well in the morning, full at noon, and light at night.” "This sentence is not someone's imagination. It has been confirmed by countless facts and is a scientifically based and mature experience that is recognized by everyone.

01 The combination of meat and vegetables for breakfast pays attention to nutritional balance

Why is it good to eat well in the morning?

Even though people are sleeping, various tissues and organs of the body, such as the stomach, kidneys, liver, and intestines, undergo a lot of peristalsis to digest and absorb nutrients. Substances are allowed to be absorbed and utilized by the body. This is why people often say how long should children sleep before nine o'clock in the evening.

I believe everyone has heard this saying: "The plan for a year lies in spring." The day's plan begins in the morning. "This meal every morning is very important for everyone, especially for children who are in the period of physical development. Nowadays, a considerable number of parents are night owls at night. The adults stay up late watching TV and playing with mobile phones, and the children also stay up late to sleep. If you go to bed after 10 o'clock at night, it will not only affect your child's height development, but also be detrimental to your child's health. In order for your child to grow up healthily, in addition to ensuring adequate sleep, you must also pay attention to your child's nutrition.

When people wake up in the morning, they are in good spirits because they have absorbed enough nutrients. However, a lot of energy is consumed when absorbing nutrients, and all substances are used up. However, the intensity of activities the next day is very high, and there is no need for substances. When there is no energy, the body will use the previous storage to maintain the supply of energy. In order to ensure that the "stored energy is not empty", it must be replenished in time.

However, many young people, in order to save trouble, replenish the energy in advance. Buy bread, cakes, and milk for your children in the morning. Children like to eat it. Occasionally, one or two meals is fine. If it lasts for a long time, it will be detrimental to the child's development.

Breakfast suggestions: In addition to rice and noodles, staple food. , but also eggs, milk, vegetables, fruits, etc.

02 Rich lunches with delicious colors and delicious changes

If your child’s breakfast is too simple, you must find a way. Make a high-quality lunch for your child to make up for it, because a simple breakfast cannot meet the nutritional needs of your child, especially for children who are already in the learning stage. Daily meals must not only make up for physical exertion, but also make up for it. Make up for the consumption of mental energy.

Especially after a morning of activities, the child consumes a lot of energy, and there are more activities waiting for him in the afternoon. You must find ways to have a good breakfast and delicious lunch. Fullness. When it comes to eating well, the problem of fullness comes again. Nowadays, many children are partial to food, and some even only like to eat meat and do not like to eat staple food and vegetables. This gives many mothers a headache.

Staple food is the most important health guarantee for the normal development of children. For the healthy growth of children, various vegetables are also indispensable. All mothers must have such experience and experience, no matter how delicious the food is. If you keep eating it for a long time, you will inevitably get bored, so mothers should be careful when cooking. In order to arouse their children's interest in food, they must find ways to change the dishes frequently. The same noodles can be made into steamed buns, flatbreads, pancakes, dumplings, etc. Noodles can also be made into steamed buns, noodles, pancakes, etc.; the same rice can be made into rice porridge, white rice, and hand-made rice. The purpose of changing the pattern is to increase the child's appetite. Only when children are interested in food can they love food and eat deliciously.

Lunch suggestions: chicken, fish, shrimp, meat, eggs, beans, seasonal vegetables, fruits, cereals (such as taro, Corn, peanuts), there should be no less than six kinds of food in each meal, and the food should be changed every two or three days so that the child can ensure the energy needed by the body. In a word, a rich lunch should have three things: quality. , nutritious and warm.

03 Dinner should be more sparse and thicker than light.

Perhaps everyone has heard this saying: "Children don't know whether they are hungry or full.

"In other words, if a child likes to eat a certain food, he will eat it non-stop. Sometimes, the child will even have a stomachache and eat it. However, everyone knows that delicious food can also cause harm to the child.

Although everyone knows the saying "eat well in the morning, eat full at noon, and eat less at night", many mothers knowingly do this by trying to save time in the morning and give their children a meal, and make do with the tight work schedule at noon. I spend a lot of time to prepare a rich dinner carefully for my children to eat. On the surface, it is to make up for the debt to the children for the other two meals during the day. In fact, it is a good intention to do bad things, which is harmful to the health of the children. Extremely unfavorable.

Dinner suggestions: For the sake of the child's health and to reduce the burden of feeding the child while sleeping, the staple food should generally be light and easy to digest. Light soup or porridge, with vegetarian dishes as the main dish and meat as the supplement.

How to arrange three meals a day for children?

The answer is here. Wisdom Grandma would like to give you another warm reminder: Let your children develop the good habit of chewing slowly!

According to relevant expert research, children who eat very quickly are prone to obesity, and only by chewing slowly can they become obese! Only by letting children know the taste of food can the nutrition of food be fully exerted.

In short, whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner, some mothers prepare the best meal for their children. For three meals a day, it is wrong to only focus on the nutritional combination of meat and vegetables and ignore the child's personal preferences. No matter how good the food is, it must be delicious to the child. There cannot be a meal that the mother thinks the child likes, but the child really wants. Mothers believe that no matter how good the food is, if the child has no appetite and cannot eat it, it will be a waste of work. Even if the food is just the most ordinary food, as long as the child likes to eat it, eats it with gusto, and can actually eat it.

3--5 years old: Make sure you have at least two cups of boiled water a day. Breakfast is essential, and it is best to have milk or eggs for breakfast. Try to avoid eating fried and heavy foods for lunch. Just eat a combination of meat and vegetables for dinner. Don’t eat too much for dinner, otherwise it will be difficult to digest!

6-10 years old: Make sure to eat three glasses of boiled water a day, and try to eat as little oil as possible in the morning and evening. A glass of honey water or a light meal is best. Lemon water is the best. Eat meat and vegetables for lunch and dinner. Eat a piece of fruit ten minutes after dinner. If you are hungry in the middle of the night, eat less greasy food.

11-16 years old: Eat three meals a day with meat and vegetables to keep healthy. When eating, one egg in the morning and one in the evening, one to two cups of milk a day, steamed buns and other whole grains are essential, especially vegetables and radishes. Eat less puffed food, and the same is true in snack streets. Of course, you still need to eat regularly and avoid snacks.

Over 17 years old: You have a regular diet and make reasonable arrangements according to your physical condition.

There are two brothers in my family. My elder brother is 9 years old and is in grade 4, and my younger brother is 1 and a half years old. When I was 2 years old, I watched it by myself at home!

My brother usually goes to school and has a relatively regular life. My brother starts school at 9:10, and it takes about 5 minutes to walk to our house, so he is basically at home before 9 o'clock in the morning. Breakfast time at my house is usually around 7 o'clock or It starts at 7:30, and then there will be a snack time at about 11 o'clock before my brother has lunch at school. I bring him fruit every day, and an extra yogurt or cheese. My brother eats lunch at school, about 1 noon. Zhong, because I bring rice with me, I usually choose something light and simple, preferably without soup, such as sandwiches, hot dogs, fried rice, rice balls, etc. In addition, I will add fresh vegetables, such as cucumbers and tomatoes. , carrots, celery, etc. My brother gets out of school at 3:30 in the afternoon. When he gets home, he will add some snacks. I am not particularly particular about this meal. He usually finds his favorite snacks to eat. Our dinner time is about 6-7 o'clock, because my brother is not at home for lunch. Eat, so I usually make a hearty dinner and choose different things to supplement my brother’s nutritional needs!

Since I watch my brother at home, I basically follow a regular schedule. Breakfast is from 7 to 7:30, lunch is from 12 to 12:30, dinner is from 6 to 7 pm, and I will give him a snack at 10 am. Fruit, when he wakes up in the afternoon, I usually give him yogurt or fruit at 3:30 or 4 o'clock. My brother's digestive system is not as good as adults, so I usually feed him more bread and steamed buns. He also likes to eat steamed buns. Starting from 10 months old, he can eat with his own hands without the need for adults to feed him! Then I will give him some stew, which is easier to digest and chew. Now that he is almost 2 years old, I don’t cook anything special for him. Basically, he can eat whatever we adults eat, just don’t give him spicy food. something!

I am a mother of two children. I am not a professional nutritionist, but I often read some books. I will learn about the nutrition of my children and pay attention to balance. I welcome mothers to come and discuss with me about raising children. road! !

When I saw this title, I remembered the scene of taking care of my nephew in those months last year.

At that time, his parents went back to their hometown for business, and I took care of the child for a few months. The child is eight years old. The most important thing is cooking. He is also a picky eater. At first, I was really confused about the child's three meals a day. , because I had never taken care of a child before, and then I gradually became familiar with it, and I was able to handle three meals a day for my child with ease. \r1: You should have a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a small dinner. Breakfast should be supplemented with carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and dairy products. It is best to have both dry and dry food, so I made him steamed buns + steamed eggs + fried lettuce + milk. Steamed buns and steamed eggs are carbohydrates and proteins, and lettuce is It’s a vitamin supplement. This breakfast is rich in nutrients, but sometimes he still doesn’t like to eat it. So I thought of a way to draw a little person or a smiling face on the steamed eggs, or make the steamed buns into the shape of small animals. The child will be able to eat easily. You can also make steamed buns + tofu noodles + side dishes. The tofu noodles can supplement protein, the steamed buns can supplement meat and carbohydrates, and the side dishes can be made in different ways, so that children will not get tired of eating them. It is best to have breakfast before 6:30 to 8:00, not too early or too late. The amount of fruit for breakfast should not be too large and can be replaced with fresh vegetables. \r2: Lunch should have sufficient calories and various nutrients, such as eating more soy products, vegetables, etc., as well as meat, eggs and other high-calorie foods. If you eat steamed buns, you can make them into buns, flower rolls, and if you eat more rice, you can There are various colors, such as egg fried rice, etc. Children will especially like it. You can also bake some pancakes. My nephew likes the meat pancakes I make. For meat, you can eat some chicken or lean pork. The chicken can be stewed with some chicken soup. Put some vegetables in the chicken soup so that it will not be too greasy. Children also like to drink it. For pork, you can make vegetable stir-fry, fried meatballs, etc., which can be eaten with rice. Children exercise a lot and must replenish sufficient energy. It’s okay to occasionally make some pastries, cakes and the like for your children in the afternoon, but don’t eat sweets too often. \r3: It is best to eat some digestible food for dinner. Don't let your children overeat. For example, you can make some millet porridge, make fish soup, stir-fry vegetables, and drink a cup of hot milk before going to bed. Don't let your child eat too much, otherwise it will be very bad for the stomach if it is not digested. \rMany children are picky eaters. In fact, with a little change of approach, children still love to eat. The child is in the stage of growth and must be well nourished. My nephew came to my house and at the age of three months, I made him fat and healthy, and his complexion was also very good.

Hello, I am happy to answer your question.

I think there is no unified standard for raising children. Just like arranging three meals a day for children, I think it should also be divided into age groups. For example, my two children are over 9 years old and one over one year old. The three meals a day arrangements for two children will also be different. The so-called meal arrangement table can only provide a reference. After all, 100 children may have 100 different dietary arrangements.

I think as long as parents grasp the general direction of scientific feeding, they don’t need to get too hung up on the details. The most important thing is to be in touch with the actual situation.

About scientific feeding

1. Eat a good breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and quality is very important. It is recommended to choose foods that are high in calories, easy to digest, and have a small body size. A nutritious breakfast should consist of three parts: porridge, noodles, pastries, meat, vegetables and vegetables. Add a serving of fruits after the meal to supplement vitamins.

Children must eat breakfast. If children do not eat breakfast, it will easily cause problems such as poor energy, slow reaction, inattention, malnutrition and other problems.

2. Eat a full lunch. The energy and nutrients provided by lunch account for about 40% of the child's three meals a day. The quality of lunch is also very important. Generally speaking, rice is a better staple food, coupled with high-quality plant protein such as soy products; high-quality fat such as lean meat, fish, and chicken; fresh vegetables and fruits such as loofah, celery, mushrooms, carrot.

3. Eat less for dinner. The "less" here means less calories, not less quantity. Children should eat less foods containing fat and high in starch, and eat more foods that are easy to digest, rich in protein, and fresh vegetables and fruits.

Pay attention to two combinations of food for the three meals

1. The combination of thickness and thickness. The food given to the child should not be too fine, but should be a combination of thickness and nutritional balance. It is recommended that children eat whole grains at least three times a week.

2. Combination of meat and vegetables. There are only glycogen, no starch, no cellulose, and no pectin in meat dishes, while monosaccharides, polysaccharides, and dietary fibers are found in vegetarian dishes. Make a good combination of meat and vegetables. , can complement each other in nutritional structure.

In short, "eating" is a science. A balanced diet structure and healthy eating behaviors provide a material foundation for children's intellectual and physical development, and also provide protection for children's health.

Arrange food according to age.

For children over one year old, you can make some porridge for them in the morning. Here I recommend using Beibei Duck’s porridge cooker to cook porridge for your children, because the porridge cooked by the porridge cooker is relatively rotten and does not cause trouble. , you don’t need to keep watch over it in the kitchen, and there won’t be any danger. At the same time, this porridge cooker also has a timer function. You only need to put it in after washing the rice the night before. , my children like to eat millet porridge for breakfast. This porridge is more nourishing to the stomach and better for the children. I cook a pot for the eldest and second child every morning, and they can eat it together. At noon, they will eat some stew. For example, today I had yam stewed pork ribs for lunch. In the evening, I could eat something simple, such as small noodles or other things. In short, the three meals are different.

At the same time, you can also make some small dumplings and small wontons. When the child has no appetite, cook some of these dishes for him. However, my second child is relatively small, only one year old. He doesn't like to eat leek filling. Maybe it has a strong taste and is not easy to digest, so the child doesn't like it. To eat, I usually steam chicken cakes for my children, or make some banana cakes, or avocado cakes, which are relatively soft things. He can eat both the eldest and the second child together.

If your child is relatively small, you can make porridge and other dishes for him. Maybe you are not very good at cooking, and you don’t know what to add to the complementary food. At this time, you can You can make both your and the adults' dishes, and put the adults' dishes together at the same time. Make the children's dishes first. Don't put a lot of salt and some seasonings in this dish first, and then put some of the baby's food out first. , the adults' dishes continue to be stir-fried. At this time, the next step is to prepare the baby's dishes. Use a knife to chop the dishes into small pieces and put them in the porridge. In this way, the children can eat them every day, and different foods are more nutritious. Be more balanced.

Hello, I think what you eat is not important. What is important is whether your intestines and stomach are working? Or slow down?

In order to avoid these situations, you must understand the routine of your gastrointestinal tract.

Eat breakfast well in the morning. Waking up early to have breakfast is a sign of respect for the intestines and stomach. This time period is the most positive working time for the intestines and stomach. Having breakfast later than 89 would be a big loss. I haven’t digested it very well and lunch comes again, so I’m so busy. So in the morning, you should eat foods that are easy to digest, nutritious, and large in quantity. It doesn’t matter if it’s complicated.

Eat a full meal at noon. On the premise of eating a good breakfast early, although the stomach and intestines have fought hard in the morning, they are actually very hungry at noon because the breakfast eaten in the morning has passed through the stomach. , the stomach is empty again, and the energy absorbed by the large and small intestines has not yet been fully absorbed, so when I am hungry, I have to start fighting again. The main purpose of this meal is to eat enough, nothing else matters.

Eat less in the evening. If the first two meals are taken care of perfectly, you will not be hungry at all at this time. Dinner will be as good as it can be. It is best to have white porridge with pickles, as simple as you can.

Late-night snacks are prohibited. Late-night snacks will destroy the hard-earned rest of the stomach and intestines, and make children more organic as they stay up late at night. And prepare for a lively breakfast the next day.

Thank you for your question!

First of all, thank you very much for your invitation. This is of course a support for me.
