[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Typical day: breakfast burritos and fruit. Chicken nuggets, string cheese, apples and ketchup for lunch. Chili with ground beef and rice and a veggie for dinner. Snacks about 11 and 2 and 4. Snacks might include: pepperoni, fruit leather, yogurt, carrots, bell peppers, cheese and crackers, popcorn, plus a serving of whatever we baked that day. We go for hot chocolate at Starbucks once or twice a week. We do dessert of fruit and cool whip or a serving of ice cream.

The additional food is on top of all that. [/quote]
You are simply not feeding your kids proper meals and enough food. I read your menu like some kind of soup and fast food advert.
I recommend you try something like this:
Breakfast: eggs, bacon, pancakes, yogurt.
Lunch: Ribs with potatoes, soup, and salad.
Dinner: rice and meat and veggies, as in a ton of it. For example, teriyaki chicken with rice and veggies. Juice, milk, etc.. to each meal.

Stop with soup and stew-like meals. In my country, these are starters. My grandma would look at your chicken nuggets and ketchup and ask you where is the meal. You don't have a proper carb side dish for lunch. For dinner, you have a stew. Not a single kid grandma fed was overweight. ANd she gave us a snack of bread with home rendered lard and paprika on top![/quote]

Okay, I think OP needs to talk to a professional and needs to feed her kids more, but your suggestions are also lunacy. Who the hell serves pancakes AND bacon AND eggs AND yogurt for a regular weekday breakfast? Not only is that a ton of food, it's a ton of time!

Ribs for lunch? Absurd.

FWIW, in my country, lunch is always soup. There's a whole saying about it. [/quote]
You are clearly one of the disordered food people. I serve bacon and eggs and all that and ribs to my kids. They are likely slimmer than any of you or your kids. The problem some people have is that they think food is bad. Nobody cares what is lunch in your country, maybe you are Vietnamese and eat pho? Loads of calories, meat and carbs in that kind of soup.[/quote]
