Food children's allergies — a widespread problem. Some children have an allergy to meat, in this case there is a question of providing the growing organism with enough proteins and amino acids from other sources.
Soy and eggs - protein sources
Meat can be replaced with rather large number of different products. Soy which is an excellent source of protein for the growing organism is in the lead in this list, of course. It should be noted that soy protein is extraordinary just acquired by an organism, and quantity of dishes which can be prepared from these beans, really hugely. Depending on a way of processing, soy can develop a taste and consistence of meat, a bird or fish that allows to experiment with a huge number of recipes, doing food of your child various and interesting. Pay attention and to other soy products — milk, cheese, cottage cheese. They will come to the rescue if your child has an allergy to milk.

If your child has an allergy only to meat, replace it with the fish. It is too an excellent source of protein, vitamins, useful nutrients and nonsaturated fatty acids which contribute to the development of a brain and accelerate a metabolism. Nuts can become one more substitute of meat.
