Depends: This is part of a general health assessment in kids and relies on information from history, exam and charted material. The growth chart of a kid is one of the better indicators of nutrition, since consistent growth requires an adequate diet. If you are looking at a more refined determination of nutrition, a visit with a clinical nutritionist will augment the doc's findings.

Mgt: The initial evaluation may be performed by your PCP. If you upload your child's growth chart, a virtual consult may be useful.
