[quote=Anonymous]We have girls both with bmi % as 3-4%. They haven't hit puberty yet, and one is being overseen by an endocrinologist every 6 months. They both do sports (part of the issue - I think they just burn at a high rate). We try to do 3 meals + 2 snacks. It's a lot of cajoling but the Olean protein shakes (after school) and protein bars (during 3rd period) were really helpful. Our older one was actually losing weight but now she is gaining again (slowly). We also offer milk at bkfast/dinner as opposed to water. I make a huge snack for after school (benefits of telework!) at 5, and then dinner is at 8. I find this gets more calories in overall. After school is when they are hungriest. [/quote]
