[quote=Anonymous]Your breakfast menu overall seems pretty healthy to me. You could cut out the cinnamon toast, hazelnut chocolate spread, and Rice Crispies because those are less healthy options, but the other foods you're feeding at breakfast seem healthy to me and I doubt that is the driving factor as to why your DC is overweight. We include a fruit or vegetable in almost every meal and snack - maybe you could try that even if your options are limited? But I'd also look at the entire days' worth of meals and snacks and consider quantity your DC is eating and how often snacks happen. If your DC is drinking calories (juice, Gatorade, chocolate milk, etc.) that might be a relatively easy place to cut back. I think what's most important though is to focus on healthy eating and talking to your kids about why it's important to eat healthy and exercise, and letting them know that healthy, active people come in different shapes and sizes.
