Hello Everyone,

What weight would you use to calculate daily nutritional needs for a nine year

girl whose weight is in the 90th percentile for age, taking into consideration

that she is still a growing child that needs adequate energy, protein, etc for

healthy grown. She is a healthy child with no medical complications and mom

does not normally provide junk food, sweets or soda at home; she provides treats

once a week. The girl is a semi vegetarian, by choice (she does not like much

meat except chicken, every now and then).

I'm okay with the nutrition education part; I just need to know how to calculate

her daily nutritional needs.

Thanks, in advance.

I used 13.5 kcal/cm if I really need to calculate energy.

But usually with this age group I'll use MyPyramid.gov for goal servings

different food groups as a starting point (and remove reference to calorie

level).

Her height is in the 10th percentile for age but more d/t genes than stunted

growth.

I would calculate calorie needs using her current weight and then go to the

50th%ile of weight

for her height and use that weight to calculate needs. Then, I would compare

them and shoot

for a range in the middle.
