Child Nutritionist in Noida

Why nutrition matters in childhood

Eating habits formed in childhood usually stay for life. Many parents today deal with fussy eating, too much packaged food, low intake of vegetables and milk, low weight, or weight that is increasing too fast. A child needs enough energy, protein, calcium, iron and other nutrients every day, in a form that he or she is willing to eat.

If your child has a medical condition or is not growing as expected, your paediatrician decides the tests and treatment. A diet plan works alongside the treatment advised by your doctor and does not replace it.

How the kids nutrition program works

• Balanced nutrition for age: the plan covers the energy, protein, calcium and iron your child needs for his or her age and activity.
• Tasty home recipes: healthy versions of the foods children like, so that they do not feel they are on a diet.
• Tiffin and snack ideas: practical options for school tiffin and evening hunger in place of packaged snacks.
• No strict dieting: children are never put on starvation or crash diets. For an overweight child the focus is on better food choices and activity for the whole family.
• Guidance for parents: you are guided on portions, meal timing and how to handle fussy eating.

What the program includes

When to see a child nutritionist

• Your child is a fussy eater or refuses vegetables, fruits or milk.
• Your child is underweight or gets tired easily.
• Your child is gaining too much weight.
• You want healthy tiffin and snack ideas for a school going child.
• Your doctor has advised a special diet for a medical condition.

How the diet planning process works

1. Evaluate your health status: Your weight, height, age, medical history and current reports are reviewed first.
2. Dietary habit analysis and counselling: We discuss your daily routine, food preferences, working hours and eating pattern.
3. Customized meal plan: You get a plan built around home-made food that fits your routine and your family kitchen.
4. Guidance on portion control: You learn how much to eat, not only what to eat, so the habit stays after the program.
5. Fortnightly follow up and review: Your progress is reviewed regularly and the plan is adjusted to keep you moving.
6. Ongoing support: You can reach out with questions, and you are guided on how to maintain the result.
