How can I make sure my child is getting enough calories?

Giving Kids Enough Calories

Vegetarian diets can be bulky. Many plant foods are high in fiber and low in calories. Since young children have small stomachs they may become full before they've had a chance to take in enough calories to meet their energy needs. For this reason, it's important to be sure to include plenty of calorie-dense foods in the diets of young children.
