Summary

This trial tests whether a 12-week personalized nutrition plan — including structured meal times and budget-friendly local foods like beans and lentils — can reduce food insecurity and improve growth in Egyptian children aged 4 to 11. One group receives tailored counseling; the other gets standard dietary guidelines. Researchers will measure changes in food security scores, weight, height, and hemoglobin levels.

What this could lead to
If it works, this approach could offer a practical, low-cost way to reduce food insecurity and improve growth in vulnerable children.
