example 1

[0072] In this example, the interactive menu planner calculates the average calorie intake of a toddler over a five-day period. Initially, child characteristic data including, for example, the child's height, weight, and pre-existing conditions are entered and stored into the system. Additionally, food consumption information is recorded, wherein the food consumption information includes a daily calorie intake value, as follows:

[0073] 900 calories on day 1

[0074] Day 2 850 calories

[0075] Day 3 1000 Calories

[0076] Day 4 1100 Calories

[0077] 900 calories on day 5

[0078] The average calorie intake for these 5 days was 950 calories. Once the interactive menu planner has determined the average nutrient values ​​(eg, calories in this example) for the menu, it compares these values ​​to recommended nutrient and food group values ​​appropriate for the child's developmental stage. In this example, the comparison indicates that an average toddler of 950 calories is ...

Abstract

Systems and methods for ensuring that a child receives proper nutrition specific to the child's developmental stage or pre-existing condition are provided. In a general embodiment, the present disclosure provides systems including a client device having at least one database, which has stored food consumption information and child characteristic information. The database further includes stored nutrient and food group recommendation information, and a rating system. Processors are used to calculate an average daily nutrition value of a child based on the food consumption and child characteristic information, compare the average daily nutrition value to the nutrient and food group recommendation information, and output a rating score based on the comparison.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to health and nutrition. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for ensuring that children receive proper nutrition appropriate for the child's developmental stage. [0002] Food and nutrition are at the heart of a child's growth and development. In fact, a healthy diet contributes to a child's overall healthy growth and development, which includes, for example: healthy bones, skin, energy levels, and cognitive development. A healthy diet also helps reduce the risk of things like dental caries, eating disorders, constipation, malnutrition, and iron deficiency anemia. [0003] However, many parents find it difficult to establish a healthy eating menu and schedule for their children that contains all the nutrients and food groups needed for proper nutrition. Establishing such healthy eating menus and schedules is made more difficult for parents due to the varying nutritional...
