How can I help develop healthy eating habits... for my two year old? Serving a variety of foods from each food group helps ensure your child gets the nutrients he needs... and teaches habits for a lifetime of healthy eating. Here's what your Toddler age 2 to 4 should eat in a day: About 3 ounces of grains. 1 cup of fruits or 1 cup of veggies has carbs for energy, vitamins and minerals, and fiber for healthy digestion.
About 2 ounces of lean meat or poultry Eggs or legumes has protein a key building block for growth. About 2 cups of dairy a day has calcium for strong bones as well as protein. Foods with healthy fats and oils offer Vitamin E, an antioxidant. You can provide healthy choices... and a good example. Remember a lifetime of healthy eating starts early.
