5 dietary suggestions for fat babies

Nowadays, in order to save time, people prefer to eat out, or directly buy semi-finished or finished food. This type of food generally has high calories and fat content, and causes a large amount of nutrient loss during the production process, which can easily lead to nutrient deficiency or overnutrition in the human body. Therefore, we advocate regular family meals, and try to have two meals at home out of three meals a day, so that children can enjoy a more pleasant dining atmosphere and improve their health.

2. Eat at regular times and in fixed quantities:

The time of three or four meals a day should be relatively fixed, and the amount of food consumed should also be relatively fixed. You must eat a good and full breakfast, and consume some fresh fruits and vegetables. The total calorie intake should account for 30% of the daily intake. At the same time, moderately reduce the amount of food eaten at dinner. If the child feels hungry before going to bed, let him drink a glass of fresh milk. This will not increase the burden on the stomach and intestines and will help the child sleep.

3. Types of replacement snacks:

For children who are accustomed to eating snacks, you can replace the high-sugar, high-calorie desserts and snacks they often eat, such as candy, chocolate, chewing gum, soda, candied fruit, etc. with low-fat, high-fiber foods such as pure milk, yogurt, and fruit, and at the same time reduce their beverage intake. When you are thirsty, try to choose boiled water, because boiled water is the healthiest and most economical source of water for the human body.

4. Cook with a light taste:

When cooking food, try to add less irritating seasonings. Food should be cooked by steaming, boiling or mixing it cold to reduce the baby's intake of cooking oil.

5. Slow down your eating speed:

Chewing slowly helps children savor food, improve their tolerance to hunger and appetite, find natural stopping points when eating, and avoid overeating. You can also use games, such as comparing who can chew longer, to cultivate your baby's habit of chewing slowly.
