Dairy Products For Kids: The child should consume milk (half a liter, at least, a day). Except for medical prescriptions, it does not need to be skimmed. As a complement or substitute for a glass of milk, you can take yogurt or a portion of cheese.
Meat: In general, pork, sausages, sausages, and hamburgers are abused. However, it is not necessary to take meat every day. It should be alternated with fish and we must ensure that it is of different species: beef, pork, chicken, rabbit, lamb, etc.
Eggs: The egg has an excellent protein, comparable to that of meat or fish. But you have to try to consume no more than 4 or 5 eggs a week.
Potatoes: Potato’s presence in the children’s diet is quite high (especially in the form of chips). Its consumption should be moderated so that you can add other garnishes of vegetables and salads.
Vegetables: They are consumed less than recommended. Therefore, children must be encouraged to eat them; they are rich in dietary fiber and also have plant proteins of good biological value.

FATS: Children consume them in excess (in the form of fatty cheeses, butter, and margarine, the fat contained in pate, spreads, sandwich-type bread, various buns …).

Excessive use of fats prevents the consumption of other foods that is a must for the growth and health of the child.
