[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. An average day would be:

Breakfast: smoothie (fruit, yogurt, milk, no added sugar), eggs, or overnight oats with peanut butter and half teaspoon of maple syrup
Lunch: whole wheat pasta with mushrooms, garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan or fish with a side of vegetables
Dinner: Tuscan bean soup with a sprinkle of Parmesan or homemade chili with guac and a sprinkle of cheddar

Snacks are almost always fruit or vegetables. [/quote]

This diet sounds so healthy and delicious. My kids eat like crap compared to OP’s and most of my friends’ kids do, too. I just want to offer a counter to the PPs trying to poke holes in this diet. This is genetics. Mine are skinny and their diet includes way more salt and sugar than this. Genetics. [/quote]

I am not trying to be disrespectful PP, but let's have an honest discussion:

" It's genetics"  is such a lazy answer to everything.

Genetics is almost always a contributing factor. It does not mean that drug addicts, alcoholics, 
impulsive  abusers, smokers or even students who flunk out of school get a free pass.

We find ways to be the beat the odds. While we may not always succeed, we still have to try. How is telling OP that your skinny kids eat anything helpful here?
