Lunch box audits are fundamental to the Munch and Move program because national data have demonstrated that high energy nutrient poor foods in a child’s lunchbox accounted for 1/3 of children aged 0-5 daily energy intake (Rangan, Randall, Hector, Gill & Webb, 2008). Thus these high energy nutrient poor foods displace core foods, which have severe negative impacts on the nutritional status of young children, contributing to increasing rates of obesity (Webb et al., 2006). Thus according to the Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) (2007) a many children aged 2-3 are not meeting the benchmark on a numerous essential nutritional requirements, for example dietary fiber intake for this age group was the lowest at 15.5g/day, which may hinder the child’s growth a development (CSIRO, 2007). In essence the Munch and Move lunchbox audits involved childcare teachers categorizing lunch boxes into three main categories that is: balanced, which contained at least a sandwich or home cooked meal and either

It would be very important to give Ruby information about prenatal vitamins to meet the nutritional requirements as well to look at her diet and increase her daily intake. During the second trimester the recommended daily amount is 340 kcal greater than before pregnancy (Perry et al, 2013, p.251). Other aspects of our discussion would be to include foods high in iron in her diet as well as limit caffeine intake (Perry et al,
Increased malnutrition is caused by poor diversification of diets such as relying too much on starchy staples. Thus, the consumption of a variety of foods is important for positive health. Malnutrition can be reduced by the consumption of diets having animal sources, vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables as well as nutrient-rich legumes (Arimond and Ruel, 2004; Thompson and Amoroso, 2011). According to the FAO, IFAD and WFP, (2015) about 800 million people do not have sufficient access to calories. A low intake of vitamins and minerals causes about 2 billion people all over the world to suffer from micronutrient malnutrition (IFPRI, 2014).
Many health nutritionists suggest that infant rice cereal filled with iron, mixed with a baby formula or breast milk should be the baby's first food solid food. This is because rice has a much lower chance than the other grain products to cause any allergic reactions. You can use a food processor, grinder, food mill or a basic blender to make the food softer so it'll be easier for the baby to consume. If all of this sounds too time consuming to you, you can always use a fork. If you are having a family meal and want to feed your baby, take out a portion of the food for the baby before you add any taste to it (spice, seasoning, salt, and so forth) in case allergies are present.
