In this project, I completed a full nutrition assessment for a toddler and a preschooler at the Child Development Laboratory (CDL).

 

I evaluated growth charts, BMI-for-age, and nutrient requirements, and created individualized three-day menus that aligned with CACFP, MyPlate, and DRI standards while meeting age-appropriate energy and nutrient needs.

​

I also reviewed feeding skills, mealtime behaviors, and safety considerations using evidence-based guidelines.
