We examine effects of protein and energy intakes on height and weight growthfor children between 6 and 24 months old in Guatemala and the Philippines.Using instrumental variables to control for endogeneity and estimating multiplespecifications, we find that protein intake plays an important and positiverole in height and weight growth in the 6-24 month period. Energy from othermacronutrients, however, does not have a robust relation with these twoanthropometric measures. Our estimates indicate that in contexts withsubstantial child undernutrition, increases in protein-rich food intake in thefirst 24 months can have important growth effects, which previous studiesindicate are related significantly to a range of outcomes over the life cycle.
