What and how much to eat a child
There is no exact amount of food they should eat a child. Every child is a different world, and their wants and needs are different. Because of this, it is the child who can say with accuracy how much you eat. And you can not force him to eat more. Not for good or for bad. Normally, children eat more than girls, but in a matter of appetite can not be generalized.

Overweight Children
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010
For many families, having a child fat, plump, and full of folds is quite an achievement, a sign that the child is well, strong and full of health. But experts in child nutrition do not think like.

An alarming fact in a society that is in its “curriculum” one of the best diets alimentares the world: the Mediterranean diet, and in which only five years ago showed only 5% of obese children.

To calculate the ideal weight of a child between 2 and 5 years of age, albeit only approximate, multiply the age in years two and eight. Example: to find out how much you weigh, on average, a child of five years, multiply the age (5) by 2 and add 8. Is, 5×2 +8 = 18kg. I insist that this method is not accurate.
