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.
• Nutritional Hack: Tips for improving meals (e.g., adding flax seeds).

# Nutrition Analysis: Emma (2026-05-22)

| Meal          | Composition | Key Nutrients         |
| :------------ | :---------- | :-------------------- |
| **Breakfast** | Oatmeal with banana, butter, milk | Complex carbs, potassium, healthy fats, calcium |
| **Lunch**     | Chicken soup (chicken, potatoes, carrot), bread | Proteins, vitamin A, complex carbs |
| **Snack**     | Apple slices | Fiber, vitamins |
| **Dinner**    | Boiled fish, pasta, broccoli | Omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, carbs, fiber |

### 5-5-3-2 Summary:
- **Starchy:** 3/5 (oatmeal, bread, pasta)
- **Fruits & Vegetables:** 4/5 (banana, carrot, apple, broccoli)
- **Dairy:** 1/3 (milk)
- **Protein:** 2/2 (chicken, fish)

### Conclusions and Recommendations:
- **Overall State:** Emma's diet is rich in proteins, fruits, and vegetables. However, there is a deficit in starchy foods and dairy products.
- **What to Add:** Try adding another dairy portion (yogurt or cheese) and a starchy snack (e.g. whole grain cracker) tomorrow.
- **Nutritional Hack:** To increase healthy fat intake, try adding some chia or flax seeds to the breakfast oatmeal.

Tone and Limitations

• Tone: Supportive, professional, without criticism or fear-mongering.
