[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what is a typical diet like each day for your DD? For you and your DH?[/quote]

Here’s a hands-off day:

Whole grain cereal with whole milk
PBJ on whole wheat
Sliced apples or bananas
Toast with butter
Orange juice
Cereal with whole milk
Grilled chicken
Sweet potatoes with butter
Green beans
Ice cream

Here’s a hands-on day:

Soft boiled eggs with butter
Toast with butter
1/3 Avocado
Orange juice
Protein bar
Creamy cheesy mashed potatoes
Handful of nuts
Red peppers
Chocolate power waffle
Ensure Compact
Mango slices
Cinnamon bun
Cheese cubes and buttery crackers
1/3 Avocado
Kalamata olives
Carnation Instant Breakfast with whole milk

As for calories, I really don’t know. DD’s dietician does not recommend counting them but focusing instead on macronutrienrs food groups, with a focus on fats and proteins.

DH and eat pretty well. Oatmeal with fruit and nuts, big salad with protein for lunch or leftover dinner from the night before, nuts and banana or yogurt with granola  for snacks, salmon or other protein with rice or potatoes and a vegetable of some sort, dark chocolate sometimes for desert. We eat dinner together as a family, with DD mostly eating what we do. DH drinks coffee, wine and/beer. I drink coffee and tea.
