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):
- 5 portions of starchy foods: bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, cereals, whole grains.
- 5 portions of fruits and vegetables: varied colors and textures.
- 3 portions of dairy products: breast milk/formula, yogurt, cheese, kefir.
- 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:
- Identification: Break down each meal into ingredients and classify them into groups.
- Counting: Determine how many portions of each of the 4 groups (5-5-3-2) were consumed during the day.
- Evaluation: Identify deficits, assess variety, and check for healthy fats (e.g., Omega-3).
- 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.

# 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.
- Sugar/Salt: Strictly point out products with added sugar or salt.
- Textures: Provide advice on safe serving (pieces vs. puree) according to age.
