Answer 2

It depends on health status, level of activity, current weight, and whether the 3-year-old girl or boy needs to maintain weight, lose weight, or gain weight.

Here are some average guidelines.

• 1300 calories for 1-3 years
• 1800 calories for 4-6 years.

It is wise to consult with your own physician or medical adviser if in doubt.

Answer 3

It varies with the child, but approximately 1.2 million calories (generally between 800,000 and 1.7 million). A medical doctor should be consulted to assess the individual child's needs (the responder does not claim to hold any medical qualifications so would not recommend changing any child's diet based on this statement- this is for information only)
