[quote=Anonymous]Also dealing with this now. Once my kid gains weight, we'll work on decreasing sugar, but not the priority right now. Add butter or olive oil anywhere you can (bread, pasta) Replace milk with heavy cream where you can, even if you replace just some of the milk with cream (mac and cheese, hot cocoa) Ice cream (the good stuff) Peanut butter and Nutella Muffin, croissant, bagel and cream cheese for breakfast instead of cereal or waffle Nuts Whole milk yogurt (alone, with granola, or in smoothie) Refried beans (in tortilla with rice and cheese, or scoop with tortilla chips) Stop worrying about snacks or drinking too much spoiling their appetite for meals. Whenever they want to eat, within reason, let them. If there's something with a lot of calories and healthy fats and/or protein that they like and want to eat all the time, let them and don't worry so much about encouraging variety right now. [/quote]
