How much does a child have to consume?

The amount a child should consume varies by age, size, and activity level. Generally, toddlers may need about 1,000 to 1,400 calories per day, while older children and adolescents may need 1,400 to 2,800 calories depending on their growth and energy needs. It's important to focus on a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein, and healthy fats. Consulting with a pediatrician or nutritionist can provide personalized guidance based on individual needs.
