How many calories do we need to give a five year old girl. While mine is healthy and active due to restrictions in physical exercise and probably me giving too much food she is gaining weight fast around her belly. So would appreciate the #calories needed and the macro nutrient split

Hello Suman I wouldn't recommend to count calories for kids this young, sticking to home cooked food and cutting on junks will help. As she is 5 yrs old you can involve in some physical work at home, like bending and picking up clothes, helping in folding etc. Kids around this age needs 1000 to 1200 calories but every baby is different. I will also not worry about macto nutrients here as long as she eats her vegetables , dal, fruits, eggs etc.
