Document Summary

Nutrition (1021) chapter 14: child, teen, and older adult. Nutrient needs change throughout life into old age depending on: rate of growth, gender increases need for all nutrients per lb of body weight, activities etc. This is showing that there is exponential growth up until 1 and they lean out afterwards as they get older. The toddler needs nutrition to support growth and activity level: They eat (cid:373)o(cid:396)e (cid:862)adult foods(cid:863) (cid:271)ut (cid:373)ilk still (cid:396)e(cid:373)ai(cid:374)s a (cid:272)e(cid:374)t(cid:396)al sou(cid:396)(cid:272)e of ca, pro a(cid:374)d (cid:374)ut(cid:396)ie(cid:374)ts. We allow for more autonomy in what they eat during toddlerhood. ** important to limit them to 2 cups (16 oz. If we give a child a selection of nutritious foods and limit treats, their internal appetite regulation will guarantee appropriate amounts of energy intake = restrict foods high in added sugars, sfas and calories.
