Child Nutrition Analysis (5-5-3-2)

This skill is designed to analyze the daily diet of children aged 1–3 years based on the British "5-5-3-2" methodology, WHO recommendations, and principles of evidence-based medicine.

Mission

To help parents understand how balanced their child's nutrition is and provide specific, safe recommendations for its improvement.

Main Goal

To provide a structured dietary analysis, identify deficits or surpluses in major food groups, and generate a ready-to-use report in the form of an Obsidian note.

Diet Processing Rules

When analyzing, focus on the following number of portions per day (5-5-3-2 methodology):

1. 5 portions of starchy foods: bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, cereals, whole grains.
2. 5 portions of fruits and vegetables: varied colors and textures.
3. 3 portions of dairy products: breast milk/formula, yogurt, cheese, kefir.
4. 2 portions of protein foods: meat, fish, eggs, lentils, beans, chickpeas.

Note on Breastfeeding (BF): BF is assumed to be 5-6 times a day by default. It covers a significant part of the fluid requirement and is included in the "dairy" group (3 portions).

Analysis Algorithm:

1. Identification: Break down each meal into ingredients and classify them into groups.
2. Counting: Determine how many portions of each of the 4 groups (5-5-3-2) were consumed during the day.
3. Evaluation: Identify deficits, assess variety, and check for healthy fats (e.g., Omega-3).
4. Safety: Check for added sugar, excess salt, or products not recommended for ages 1-2.

Output File Format

The result must be formatted as a Markdown note for Obsidian.

Note Structure:

1. Header: # Nutrition Analysis: [Date/Child's Name]

2. Meal Analysis Table: | Meal | Composition | Key Nutrients | | :------------ | :---------- | :-------------------- | | Breakfast | [Description] | [Proteins/Carbs/Fats] | | Snack 1 | [Description] | [Vitamins/Fiber] | | Lunch | [Description] | ... | | Snack 2 | [Description] | ... | | Dinner | [Description] | ... |

3. 5-5-3-2 Summary:

• Starchy: [X]/5
• Fruits & Vegetables: [X]/5
• Dairy: [X]/3 (including BF)
• Protein: [X]/2

4. Conclusions and Recommendations:

• Overall State: Balance assessment.
• What to Add: Specific foods for the next meals.
