"Kids Daily Healthy Lifestyle Meal Plan Menus"

Are your kids growing up healthy, well & strong or just growing? Have you wondered how many calories your son or daughter needs? Are you unsure how many they’re getting now, and whether those calories are coming from wholesome foods? Any parent will tell you that a child’s diet is usually unpredictable. Without proper guidance, they may avoid or omit entire food groups and overload on their favorite one's like carbohydrates and fats. According to the American Dietetic Association (ADA) and the American Academy Of Pediatrics (AAP) along with others have found that many child and adolescents’ weight problems, nutrient deficiencies, or lack of energy and concentration can be traced to improper nutrition and energy balance. Restoring that balance is the key to your child or adolescent's overall wellbeing.

We’ll give you the tools to nutritiously power growing kids with One Potato Two Tomato’s “Kids Daily Healthy Lifestyle Meal Plan Menus.” Our goal is helping kids live life to the fullest, providing just the right amount of tasty food and beverage choices that are, nutrient-rich food to keep them healthy, happy & strong throughout their growing years.

Busy parents as well as childcare givers, schools, and private organizations can healthfully feed children and young adults age 6 to 19 by following easy to read, carefully tailored meal plans menus Designed by a pediatric/adolescent registered dietitian, youth fitness and behavior specialists, and, of course, moms and kids, our "Kids Daily Healthy Lifestyle Meal Plan Menus" can fit any child or adolescent's lifestyle.

• You’ll know how many calories are appropriate and what portion sizes to serve.
• The food guide pyramid system is incorporated throughout the meal plan menu's making it easy for you to be able to identify, classify and make appropriate food and beverage substitutions for long lasting healthy lifestyle changes overtime.

COMPREHENSIVE:

• Plans for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks are included.
• Each meal and snack contains the right amount of macro-nutrients from the recommended five to six food guide pyramid food groups that children and adolescents should consume daily for their particular age, gender & activity profile.
• Our meal and snack food group combinations consumed as recommended, are designed to promote normal hunger cue patterns and satiety times (usually 3-5 hours of "fullness & fuel") to help establish production and maintenance of healthy blood sugar, hormone levels, eating habits, behaviors and provide the right kind of energy needed for physical activity throughout the day.

VARIED:

• Research shows it takes approximately 21 days to make or break a habit. That’s why we provide 21 scrumptious meal & snack selections for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
• Just think: if you cycle through the options one by one, your kids will have made healthy eating a habit by the time you need to repeat a meal or snack.
• Food jag and meal boredem is eliminated and long lasting healthy eating habits are increased and sustainable with our "How To Substitute a Healthy Food Criteria list" if there is a food item on the meal plan menu that you would like to rotate or change.
• Our kids healthy daily meal plan menus can also be used as a handy shopping list and meal planner. 
• Just bring a copy of it with you when you do your food shopping.
• Why make another list when everything you need on a daily basis for every meal or snack is already done for you.
• Gives your children the opportunity to go through the store with the menu to have fun picking, choosing and substituting healthy items that they will be more likely to eat when empowered to choose them on their own.

NUTRITIOUS & DELICIOUS:

• Natural foods offer better nourishment.
• It is always best to prepare fresh healthy meals daily from scratch whenever you can, using as many ingredients that are in their most natural form. Unfortunately, with most busy parents and childcare providers that task is not always possible.
• With that in mind, we have developed our meal plans to incorporate a variety of semi-prepared, quick and easy healthier food options without compromising nutritional value.
• Most of our meals and snack choices are complex in carbohydrates, high in fiber, nutrient dense, devoid of trans &/or low in saturated fats, salt, added simple sugars, and cholesterol. As well as free of sugar substitutes (artificial sweenteners)
• These well researched, thought-out & planned realistic healthier food options provide balanced meals that enable kids to acquire and maintain good energy, concentration & blood sugar levels throughout the day while eliminating distorted hunger cues and unnecessary snacking/grazing.

ACCESSIBLE:

• All the food items on our healthy kids daily meal plan menus are available in nationally known public and private supermarket, grocery and specialty food stores throughout the U.S.
• See our "Healthy Food Partner Page" for where to purchase many of the recommended foods on our meal plan menu's at local and national chain supermarkets that provide local home delivery of fresh, non-perishable and dry goods as well as "online" retail grocers to have your items shipped directly to your door.
• If there's ever a food item you cannot easily obtain or your child dislikes, it's no problem. Just use our "How To Substitute a Healthy Food criteria list", we provide to find another item with the equivalent or comparable nutritional value within the same food group(s) you are choosing.
• Our plans are written in an easy to read formatted calendar chart, like a "school lunch menu" (with the exception of having healthier food choices).
• You have the ability to purchase any or all dry & frozen goods with a long shelf-life to have on hand monthly and fill-in weekly with perishables which gives you the opportunity to "pull from your pantry" to mix, match & substitute selections.
• These Easy-to-prepare meals & snacks can involve kids in the kitchen, too. Studies show that children and adolescents are more likely to consume healthy food if it’s available and they take part in age-appropriate preparation.

FLEXIBLE:

• Families lead busy lives. Our quick and easy breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options keep kids on track even if they’re on the go.
• With healthy fresh, semi-prepared and convenience items, meals can be prepared in the time it takes to stand in line at a fast-food restaurant. It’s a similar time investment with a much more positive nutritional impact.
• It's a one-time purchase, interchangeable, recyclable healthy lifestyle meal plan that you can use over and over again with out getting bored by being creative and becoming saavy in learning how to make many food, meal & snack substitutions, identify how to classify a single or combination food, read a nutrition fact label and recognize age appropriate portion sizes.

UNIQUE:

• Our program tackles more than just child and adolescent meals, because it’s not enough to just recommend healthy food.
• Along with our kids healthy meal plan menu's we provide an age-appropriate "Daily Healthy Habits Lifestyle Schedule" and 21 days of a "Healthy Mealtime & Behavior Modification Tip Sheet"
• Combining lifestyle and mealtime behavior tips with food recommendations creates a comprehensive, effective change over time. This approach focuses on the overall goal, which is overhauling unhealthy lifestyle behaviors and learning a brand new set of constructive habits in eating and exercise overtime. Furthermore, reducing the risks of early onset adult obesity related diseases and other nutrition related health problems often seen at times, in child and adolescents.
