To help children keep their weight under control, they should receive no more than 3 meals daily.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
Children have small stomachs. Offering them 6 or so small meals succeeds better than limiting them to 3 meals each day. Sticking to 3 meals a day offers no special nutritional advantages; it's just a social custom. When we eat isn't nearly as important as what we eat. Frequent meals and snacks help children meet their nutrient and calorie needs, as well as keep their blood glucose levels high enough to support the activity of their rapidly developing brain and nervous system. Breakfast and snacks are especially important.
