Summary:
Carbohydrates
When you think of carbohydrates, what comes to mind? Maybe you’re thinking of junk food or even that all carbohydrates are bad. Well, it all depends on what carbs you’re talking about. Yes, some carbs are unhealthy, but that doesn’t mean all are harmful.

Proteins
Unlike carbohydrates, only 20% of your child's energy needs to come from proteins. But that’s no reason to ignore them. Proteins are the cornerstone of a balanced diet for children. Why is that?

Fats
The most common myth about nutrition is that “fat-free products are healthy.” But that might not always be the case. Food manufacturers generally add more sugar to packed foods to make them low-fat or fat-free. As a result, you might unknowingly end up overdosing on your kid with too much sugar. Do not discard fat entirely from your child's diet.

Vitamins And Minerals
Every child needs a variety of vitamins, minerals, and salts to stay healthy. Vitamin deficiencies can be scary and have long-term side effects. Let's talk about a few vital ones.
