[quote=Anonymous]Have been through this with my ND kid. Are there ANY high calorie foods he likes or can tolerate eating frequently? For us it's: whole milk at every meal if she'll drink it (I will sometimes add chocolate syrup just to ensure she drinks the whole cup), using butter biscuits or croissants instead of regular bread a lot, and offering high calorie desserts after meals (full fat ice cream, baked goods). Yes we also work on ensuring she gets veggies, fruit, other fiber, whole grains, and proteins. But she will take a few bites of those foods and push them away, and we need to up her caloric intake. So if that means a meal is two little bites of chicken, one piece of broccoli, and a glass of chocolate milk and a croissant, so be it. She's still eating the healthy stuff but she's not hungry all the time and she's growing again.[/quote]
