Q. How much protein should an 18 month old male toddler have daily?

A. According to The Food and Nutrition Board and The Institute of Medicine, the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) for a toddler aged 1 to 3 include:
1.Protein: A minimum of 16 grams a day. 16 ounces of milk plus one ounce of meat is ample protein for a toddler.
2.Fat: At least 30% of a toddler's calories should come from fat. Too little can result in "failure to thrive" where children do not get enough food to supply their energy and growth needs.
3.Calories: approximately 1000 to 1300calories/day.
Calorie distribution is apt to look like this:
13 g Protein = 52 calories
44 g Fat = 396 calories
175 g Carbohydrate = 702 calories
Total = 1150 calories
