Can Poor Diet Cause Thin Body Structure And Protruding Stomach?

I have observed a two year old recently, male . His arms and legs are excessively thin. His stomach protrudes and is hard almost like a pregnant woman. I have watched him eat. His mother fed him dumplings Wirth just a few string of chicken, corn, and garlic toast. What 90%carb. The meal tonight was BBQ chicken, four bites... mashed potatoes , and corn. Another meal serve regularly is frozen pizza with pepperoni only. Lunch is either grill cheese or pizza pockets . I am afraid this poor diets can stunt my grandson growth physically and mentally. The two year old is my four year old grandson s half brother.

Thank you for following up. I totally agree with you. In his age he needs 4 meals and 5th-fruits or juice. For instance, he needs mashed potato,butter,salad-for breakfast,1 boiled egg every alternative soup with chicken,olive oil 5 ml, bread-for lunch, at the afternoon- curd and yoghurt,for dinner -porridge with milk,bread with butter.
Add multivitamins-Zincovit-5ml for 1 month.
