[quote=Anonymous]Most of the kid nutritionists on instagram (I know, but I actually used to work with one of the more followed ones and she is legit) recommend the morning snack afternoon snack cadence and not grazing in between. So three meals and then planned snacks in between (how many depends on your kid, for yours I would do both morning and afternoon). Ideally these snacks include a protein, carb, and fat. Kids eat in color has some great examples. I can't always pull off getting all those things in a snack but it helps them to stay full longer. A piece of fruit for example isn't going to keep you full long, fruit, cheese + some crackers might give you a little more lenght. Ugh I find it exhausting too honestly but I would recommend telling him hey I know you've been pretty hungry lately, we're going to try something new where everyday at 10a and 3p we sit down and have a snack. We won't have snacks in between those times, but you can eat as much of snack as you want at those times and I'll make sure to give you things that will keep your belly full for long periods.[/quote]
