Toddler Portion Size Calculator

A general rule is that a toddler portion is about 1/4 of an adult portion, or roughly 1 tablespoon per year of age per food group per serving. So a 2-year-old might get 2 tablespoons of vegetables per serving.

Toddlers (1-3 years) typically need 900-1,200 calories per day, while preschoolers (3-5 years) need 1,200-1,400 calories. Active children may need more. These should be spread across 3 meals and 2 snacks.
