OPTIMAL NUTRITION PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN: DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION
Abstract
Developing an optimal nutrition program for children is of significant importance, and initially, attention must be paid to scientific foundations. When calculating children's energy and nutritional needs, factors such as age, gender, physical activity level, and health are considered. For example, the diet of preschool children should be based on the balance of key nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. According to hygienic standards, protein should make up 15% of daily energy intake, fat 30%, and carbohydrates 55%.
