That is why I chose to use these foods in my meal plan, all of the meals this plan consists of meet the nutritional needs of toddlers. For example, everyday a toddler needs plenty of calcium, carbohydrates, proteins, iron, and fats. All of these are essential to help make their bones strong, provide them with enough energy, and to keep them healthy and help fight sicknesses. Every meal plan contains at lest five fruits or veggies, 3 glasses of milk a day, proteins, and some form of carbohydrates. ]]> 2018-02-09 17:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/slnewcomb100/giqyack96zlo/wish/230115584 Monday slnewcomb100 https://padlet.com/slnewcomb100/giqyack96zlo/wish/231188474 Breakfast: Cheerios, mandarin orange slices, and milk
