[quote=Anonymous]I think one of the best things you can do, OP, is make sure you are educated about her nutritional needs. There are so many resources out there... but my basic understanding is that most humans get way more protein than we need, so you *really* do not need to worry about that with your daughter. Focus on making sure she is eating a wide variety of foods, getting some fat and protein, and that her fruits/vegetables come from all over the rainbow. I do have everyone in my house take a multivitamin because I want to make sure iron and B12 are sufficient, but otherwise... I am sure she is fine. Example of a meal in our house: if we are having tuna poke bowls, I will make poke + rice + edamame (protein) + a bunch of different vegetable garnishes + a soy dressing and appropriate condiments (sesame seeds, furiake, etc.). Everyone makes their own bowl using rice as the base and then adds their own protein, vegetables, condiments.[/quote]
