Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate and compare two strategies of portion control in toddlers aged 24 to 59 months (snack replacement and snack reduction). The investigators aim to compare the effect of these strategies on habitual dietary intake (total energy intake (kcal), sugar intake (g), intake of fruits and vegetables, and intake at a test meal provided in the home (total energy intake (kcal) and intake of each component of the meal, e.g. intake of vegetables). Outcome measures will be compared to baseline within strategies and also between strategies to explore which portion control strategy might be most effective.
