Answer to Question 1

An infant's appetite decreases markedly near the first birthday and fluctuates thereafter. Children's appetites fluctuate between very high and very low. However, if given an ample selection of nutritious foods at regular intervals, the internal appetite regulation in healthy, normal-weight children will ensure that energy intake remains adequate for each stage of growth. However, the environment can influence this internal process of maintaining energy balance. If there is a constant stream of tempting foods high in added sugars, saturated fat, refined grains, and calories throughout the day, normal hunger and satiety cues can be overridden. Children who receive regularly timed snacks and meals of a variety of nutritious foods, with only occasional special treats, often are those who gain weight appropriately and grow normally.
