The list is counted in packs, not grams: a head of cabbage, a bag of rice, a dozen eggs. Prices are supermarket averages; your store will differ.
At this age: about 1300 kcal and 39 g of protein a day, 600–700 ml of drinks (Russian norms MR 2.3.1.0253-21). Milk, kefir, fruit and bread cover the rest.
Five times: breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and kefir or milk before bed. Breakfast covers about 25% of the day's calories, lunch 30–35%, dinner 20%, the rest goes to the snack and the milk drink (Russian feeding programme for ages 1–3).
Yes, if the dish has nothing spicy, no mushrooms, sausage, smoked food or pickles. Set the child's portion aside before adding salt and spices. Racion drops such dishes from the week on its own when the child eats from the family table.
Mushrooms, pickles, hot sauces, mustard, horseradish, pepper, vinegar, mayonnaise, fizzy drinks, cakes and pastries, sausage, smoked or salted fish, caviar, seafood and real coffee (Russian feeding programme for ages 1–3). No honey under one.
About 450 g a day, counting cottage cheese, sour cream and cheese. Cottage cheese 200–250 g a week, cheese up to 5 g a day and not spicy, mould-ripened, smoked or processed. Milk at 2.5–3.2% fat.
Routine, norms and limits follow the Russian feeding programme for ages 1–3 (National Medical Research Center for Children's Health, Union of Paediatricians of Russia, 2019), norms MR 2.3.1.0253-21 and sanitary rules SanPiN 2.3/2.4.4282-26. This is guidance, not a prescription: your paediatrician knows your child best.
