[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This "gotta pack snacks!!" business has got to stop, for every single teeny outing. I blame the helicoptering of making sure Larla feels no slight discomfort, ever. In my opinion it's GOOD to be hungry sometimes. A kid can surely deal with hunger for 30 minutes or an hour. [/quote]

I agree that a kid should be hungry fortheblast half hour or ao before a meal, but OP seems to be describing that she would like her kid to be hungry a the end of a meal.  What?  That makes no sense.  "Eat when you're hungry, stop when you're full."[/quote]

+1. It comes from the snacking all day long culture. I feel like even adults don't just do 2-3 meals anymore -- they eat breakfast, snack at 10,  lunch, snack at 2, snack at 4, dinner, snack before bed. Give me a break. No one needs a steady stream of almonds, hummus and eggs all day long. Doesn't matter how much protein they have -- you aren't going to burn those calories off and then people wonder why they aren't losing weight despite eating so healthy. It's the sheer quantity of food that's a problem.[/quote]
