Hi, here is the general recommendation from the USDA Dietary Guidelines. Keep in mind that these are just guidelines. Some kids might eat less or a bit more, the important thing is to help your child be in tune with her hunger and satiety cues. https://www.myplate.gov/myplate-plan/results/1200-calories-ages-4-8
