Ensure 1/2 the plate is fruits and vegetables, 1/4 of the plate is lean protein and 1/4 of the plate is whole grains. child on a calorie restricted diet may not be the best option except in specific circumstances, and even then be sure to work closely with your pediatrician and a Registered Dietitian. In all cases, lifestyle changes to promote a healthier weight must include the entire family and not just your child.
