1.1 Out line the nutritional requirments of a healthy diet for children and young person.
In order to feel well and to be able to function properly, our bodies need fuel. Eating healthily is one of the most important ways in which wecan help ourselves be well and fit. Food provides us with energy for physical movement and to maintain body temperature while also providing materials for the growing body cells. Food can also help to replace and repair damaged body tissues. Children need to correct balance of food and nutrients in order to grow and develop properly. Nurtruients –vitamins, minerals and protein, mixed with fibres ( without lots of salt and sugar ) means that the body gets the right amount of healthy foods. By introducing your child to a varity of foods at a young age the child is more likely to have a healthy outlook and lifestyle on foods and be able to have bringht, healthy furture.

In my setting theres a good varity of healthy meals for lunchtime here are some examples:
Monday: Vegtable ravioli&cheese, savory wedges&peas Apple&raspberry oaty crumble with custard Water
Wednesday: sausages and Yorkshire puddings, served with gravy, boiled pots, broccoli, leeks&carrots angel delight water Friday: sea stars or salmon&sweet potatoe fishcake, baked pot&peas Chocolate cookie Fruit juice&water
The school also like all packlunches to contain healthy options, so an ideal packlunch would be:
Sandwiches/roll/wrap/salad/pasta
Yoghurt
Cheese string/cheese cubes
A minsnack size choc bar
Watersquash

The children also receive fruit and milk during lesson time which is a carton of semi skimmed milk and bowl of mixed fruit.
