[quote=Anonymous]OP here, Just to clarify, my kid eats 3 eggs for breakfast almost every day. And I'm good with that, but it makes me hesitant to do egg based dinners like shaksuka or quiche too often. I'm wanting to cut back on meat. Not cutting it out, but he eats 4 meals a day, and I'd love to get it down to say 5 times a week, because meat is expensive, and bad for the environment, and the adults in our family have health issues that would probably benefit from less meat. So, I'm just figuring out what to sub. I read that even for lower mercury fish you should aim for 12 ounces a week due to mercury. That's probably what he eats at one meal. He eats a lot of soy, and a lot of beans, and a lot of dairy. As for why I think he needs the protein? Because it's what he craves. If I put out a variety of foods, the foods he's drawn to are the ones with protein and fat. So, I assume he's listening to his body and eating what he needs.[/quote]
