Nutrition Dietary Guidelines for School Children in Bhutan

The Bhutan Food and Dietary Guidelines for School-Aged Children provides clear, simple advice on the amount and kinds of foods school aged children need each day to achieve good health and nutrition. Different ages, gender, size, and physical activity all affect how much each child will need to meet their requirements. The amount of food needed for different age groups is set out in the servings and the type of food is set out in the food group. These guidelines are adapted from the Ministry of Health Adult guidelines from 2011.
