Objective To describe the food consumption patterns of US children aged 2 and 3 years Design Descriptive analysis of data collected in the Feed mg Infants and Toddlers Study 2008 based on a single 24 hour dietary recall collected by telephone Subjects A national random sample of children aged 2 and 3 years (n=1,461) Statistical analyses performed The percentage of children consuming foods from specific food groups was estimated for the full sample of children aged 2 and 3 years and separately by year of age Results About a third of 2 year-olds and a quarter of 3-year-olds consumed whole milk at least once in a day About 70% of 2- and 3-year olds consumed vegetables as a distinct food item at least once in day French fries and other fried potatoes were the most commonly consumed vegetable Almost three quarters of children (73%) consumed fruit as a distinct food item at least once in a day, and 59% consumed 100% juice Fresh fruit was the most commonly consumed type of fruit About 85% of children consumed some type of sweetened beverage, dessert, sweet, or salty snack in a day Percentages of children consuming such foods were consistently higher for 3-year-olds than for 2-year-olds Conclusions Parents and caregivers should be encouraged to expose young children to a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and healthier fats, and to limit consumption of low-nutrient, energy-dense foods and beverages Dietary guidance should stress the fact that children in this age group have high nutrient needs and relatively low energy requirements, leaving little room for such foods Parents need advice that is specific, practical, and actionable J Am Diet Assoc 2010,110 S52 S59
