Résumé : Children have specific and increased nutritional requirements in comparison with adults. A rapid growth and an enhanced energy expenditure explain these main differences. Any diet deviation will expose more rapidly to a risk of nutritional deficiency with health consequences. Whenever a diet restriction is required for medical reasons, a particular attention must be paid to the feeding regimen in order to avoid any health problem and mainly growth retardation.
