Now your toddler is grown up a bit and is ready to go to school. So, you need to pay an extra attention to its nutrition. It's important to manage time at home and their school break. Keeping in mind that none of the meals goes low on nutrition. A meal low in necessary nutrition is a meal gone waste which is not advisable at the growing age. Because children in this are extra active and need lot of energy.
Feed them proper wholesome meal comprising of all nutrients. Depending on the timing you can rely on milk + nuts/ wholesome breakfast like idli- chutney, dosas, poha/ upma/ paratha/ roti sabzi, etc. You can add groundnut or pulses to poha & upma.
In tiffin as far as possible, give the food which is easier for child to eat and yet nutritious. May be a roti role with ghee n jaggery stuffing, nuts and dried fruits, ladoo or Chikki, idli cubes, sandwich etc. Also, keep a watch on quantity you fill the tiffin. It should not be too much for the child to eat in limited time. Check the time required for child to eat and pack tiffin accordingly as more than required may lead to wastage of food or child might not chew properly just gulp it down leading to indigestion.
Manage other meals wisely. Include fruits, vegetables, salads, sprouted pulses, paneer, egg, milk and milk products, cereals and millets, nuts and dried fruits in the meals. Atleast 1 fruit a day.
Check water and fluid intake . You can add soups as one serving. Avoid fruit juices, instead prefer whole fruits they will provide more nutrition as well as fibres.
Squeeze lemon in meals and also add herbs and spices like ginger, garlic, turmeric, Cummins, corriander, cardamon, cinnamon etc. while cooking.
Avoid giving junk food , keep junks as special occasion food, thus intake and frequency will automatically get lowered. Any food just before meal will invite lesser potion of proper meal as the tummies will be already half filled and energy levels increased.

Toddler's tummy.
Toddler the most energetic stage of a baby. Where your baby's curiosities know no bounds, when they are into learning, experimenting and researching. They learn to walk, talk, play, run, hop and the list goes on and on. This is the stage where they try their hands on and learn almost all basic physical lifeskills. So, they need a lot of energy at this age. But, the parents should be alert that only energy is not sufficient but they need a proper nutrition for their age appropriate growth and development. Only filling tummies is not about eating, but it's lot more than that ; ita about providing them with healthy calories, all set of essential nutrients, various tastes and variety of food items. At this age kids develop their tastes, they try to analyse the good and the bad so things that are captured by their brains as good at this age lasts with them forever. Here, the 'Sanskars' are developed, so it's important to make 'khadya Sanskar' on them and introduce them with a good 'Khadya Sanskriti'.
So, start giving them the food you prepare for yourself. This will help them develop all the tastes. Mash the food with your hand or spoon but do not make a complete paste of it. With normal dal rice you can introduce them with dal - roti. Soak roti in dal till it's soft enough. Keep in mind the mashed food to be given till teeth are not developed, but later feed then proper food and encourage them to chew properly. Since, chewing is a new activity children may forget or be sluggish in chewing, so you need to teach them to chew and also remind them for few days. Chewing activity will be easier to teach if you maintain basic discipline and rules like switching off telivision or mobile while eating; there should be no mind diversion for the kid. Also, make them a habit of eating at one place. You can engage them in storytelling or talking to them.
