Enter your child’s information below for a customized MyPyramid Plan. The Plan will show what and how much your child should eat to meet his or her needs. It will also provide ideas to help you plan meals for your preschooler.

Use the MyPyramid Plan as a guide to help you feed your preschool child. Do not be concerned if your preschooler does not eat the exact amounts suggested. Each child’s needs may differ from the average, and appetites can vary from day to day. While the amount eaten daily may vary, the average amounts over time should be similar to this plan.
