 How Much Protein Should a Child Have?

(1)Protein deficiency can result in stunted growth

Protein is a nutrient that is essential for proper growth and development in children. As a
major structural component of muscle tissue, protein helps repair, increase and maintain
muscle mass in children. Protein is also present in a child’s blood, organs, skin and glands.
According to MedlinePlus, children who don’t eat enough protein may experience stunted
growth, malnutrition, permanent mental and physical problems, fatigue, irritability, decreased
muscle mass and a compromised immune system. Consuming high-protein foods at each meal
can help your child meet his daily protein needs.

(9)Infants

Most infants receive the majority of their protein from breast milk or infant formula. The
Institute of Medicine recommends babies ages 0 to 6 months consume at least 9.1 grams of
protein, and infants ages 7 to 12 months eat at least 11 grams of protein every day. Sources of
dietary protein for infants older than 6 months include strained or pureed meats, tofu, egg
yolks, cooked legumes, whole-milk yogurt and cheese.

(15)Ages 1 to 3

The Institute of Medicine encourages children ages 1 to 3 to consume at least 13 grams of

protein every day. High-protein foods appropriate for toddlers within this age range include
soft meats such as chicken, hamburger and fish, whole milk, cheese, yogurt, tofu, eggs and
legumes. Some toddlers are ready to eat peanut butter, but ask your pediatrician to be sure.

(20)Always cut soft meats into small pieces for children ages 1 to 3. Due to the presence of
mercury, which is a neurotoxin, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends young
children avoid eating king mackerel, tilefish, shark and swordfish, but enjoy up to 12 ounces
of low-mercury fish each week. Fish low in mercury include salmon, canned, light tuna,
catfish, pollock, haddock, tilapia and shrimp, according to the Dietary Guidelines for
Americans 2010.

(26)Ages 4 to 8

Children ages 4 to 8 need at least 19 grams of protein every day, according to the Institute of
Medicine. Children who are very active may need additional protein to help repair and build
muscle tissue. Young children ages 4 to 8 can generally consume the same high-protein foods
as adults, which may include meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, soy products, legumes, peanut
butter, nuts and seeds.
(32)Ages 9 and Older

Protein requirements for children ages 9 and older vary based on the child’s age and gender.
The Institute of Medicine encourages children ages 9 to 13 to eat at least 34 grams of protein
every day; girls ages 14 to 18 need 46 grams of protein; and boys ages 14 to 18 require at
least 52 grams of protein each day. A 2008 edition of “Today’s Dietitian” reports that young
athletes usually require 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day,
depending on the type of sports training they participate in. This equals about 0.45 to 0.68
grams of protein per pound of body weight every day. For example, a teen athlete who weighs
145 pounds may need to eat 65 to 99 grams of protein each day.

MAKING INFERENCES and PREDICTING

1. Inferences
We can inferre from the passage that children are need protein
consumptions based on their ages, and in every age the sources of protein is
difference(in the last paragraph). We also can inferre that the writer must be a
nutritionist, because he/she understand about nutritions for the body in every
age, especially for children and the effects if its not fulfilled (line 5-8).

2. Predicting
The paragraphs in this passage most probably disscusses about the
importance of knowing appropiate protein levels at an early age. Because the
marker is in the last paragraph, it is “protein needs”.
