Kids caloric needs are not that different from adults. Once they're around five years old, children ought to be eating "adult-sized" meals. By which I mean, the above kids meals. Which are actually (slightly more than) adult-sized.
children also ought to be eating the same foods as adults, to bring it back full circle. the whole "kids food" is made up marketing pablum that's mostly worse for kid's development biologically and psychologically. the least picky kids i ever met were the weird home-school kids that literally never got the chance to eat anything "for kids" just normal food. they were fucked up socially beyond belief tho lol
Bonus hot take!
