Essential Nutrients for Children

Final Note

It’s important to note that these numbers are not necessarily right for all children. Depending on lifestyle and activity level, your child might need more or less of these daily nutrients. So make sure to speak with your child’s pediatrician about a healthy diet for your child, and remember to use MyPlate as a reference.
