Eval diet/ growth: It is quite common for the 3-5 yo ti decrease/change their food seeking behavior based on changing growth & activities. Expect an ave of 3in/4lb/yr growth at this stage & more interest in carbs to sustain exploration.Have your physician go over the childs growth chart & see if they follow their expected pattern. A variety of supplements can be used if needed, but see if it is needed first.
