Children need to be in top form and feeling good all day long. If they are going to concentrate at school and lay the foundations of lifelong good health, then they will need a nutritious diet with energy at every meal.
Food energy is most effective when it is spread over three meals and two snacks:
- Breakfast
- Morning tea
- Lunch
- Afternoon tea
- Evening meal.
Sticking to this pattern can help prevent constant nibbling and bingeing, which are eating behaviours that can contribute to weight gain and health problems.
