[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why doesn't the nutritionist want your child to log calories? [/quote] Pure guess here. Maybe the nutritionist doesn't want OP's DD to get hung up on food control to a calorie level. That's a lot for a teen.[/quote] But that's the reason (barring some medical issue or a medication that causes weight gain) the teen is overweight. My students are often overweight coming into kindergarten. That used to be unusual 20 yrs ago when I started teaching. By 6th grade, I'd say 3/4 of them are overweight. Judging by the crap they bring to school, it's simple math. All high calorie but low nutrition foods. [/quote]
