1 Portion Sizes for children aged 1-4 years Our portion size ranges can be used as a guide for giving your young child a well-balanced diet with a combination of foods and drinks from the five food groups. They recommend how much to offer your 1-4 year old and have been designed to ensure that his or her energy and nutrient needs are met. Portion Sizes for children aged 1-4 years Our portion size ranges can be used as a guide for giving your young child a well-balanced diet with a combination of foods and drinks from the five food groups. The tables that follow cover each of the five food groups. The foods are listed in the first column, with the portion size (lower and upper ends of ranges) in the second column. Standard measures have been used: 1 tablespoon is a 15 ml spoon and 1 teaspoon is a 5 ml spoon.

4 Food Group 3: Dairy Serve about 3 times each day An excess of these foods can reduce the appetite for iron-containing foods from the other food groups so limit serving sizes to those indicated. Milk should be given in a cup, mug or glass - not a bottle. Semi skimmed milk can be used from two years of age and skimmed milk from five years of age for children who eat a wide variety of foods.

6 Food Group 5: Sugars and Fats Puddings and snacks - include up to twice a day These foods add enjoyment to meals and snacks but as they are high energy, low nutrient foods the maximum serving size should be limited to the upper end of the range. Cake or biscuit can be served with fruit to make a nutritious pudding or snack.

7 Sauces, spreads and extras Include 1 or 2 items at each meal to add flavour and enjoyment to the meal. The maximum serving size should be limited to the upper end of the range as these foods are high in energy or salt and an excess of high energy foods can contribute to overweight and obesity.
