Brief Answer:
Give a balanced diet

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Sorry for the delay,
I was very busy in hospital

Regarding diet for a 5year child, there is no hard and fast rule. All we need to ensure is a balanced diet which supplies all the necessary nutrients for growth.
I will give a background on which you can plan the diet. Take care of the following points:

1. Give 3 major meals(usual family diet) and two snacks in between. Snacks can be items like banana/biscuits/fruits/salads.

2. Major meals should contains all the 4 types of major food items- carbohydrates(cereals, millets), proteins(pulses, egg, fish, meat, chicken, milk/milk products), fat(oil, ghee), vegetables & fruits. List few items from each category and then rotate/mix them each day to avoid monotony.

3. Ensure green leafy vegetables, fruits and nuts in each meals to supply enough minerals and vitamins.

4. Avoid candies/sugaries/carbonated drinks as far as possible.

5. Reduce junk foods
