  • A child of 3 years will take in each main meal about 50 g of fish or meat.
  • At 4 years the rations will be 60g.
  • At 5 years it can be increased to 70g.
  • At 6 years it is recommended about 80 g per serving.
  • At 7 years, a maximum of 90g.

Egg consumption will be two to three per week.

How many servings should they take per day?

A total of 2 to 3 daily servings of meat, fish or eggs are required. For example, a tuna sandwich for breakfast, battered fish to eat and a serving of potato omelette at night.
