[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids at that age ate a "snack" after school that was equivalent to a meal.  It was more like the food I put in their lunch box than the food I'd usually serve for dinner.

Then they ate something with simple carbs and protein -- chocolate milk, or a pb j the second they got in the car, and a real dinner after we got home.

So, something like:

4:15:  Turkey and cheese sandwich, grapes, carrot stick with hummus

7:01 Chocolate milk

7:45: Spaghetti and meatballs, broccoli, salad [/quote]

If the snack is equivalent to a meal, why not call it a meal?[/quote]

I don't know, it kind of evolved over time from a more normal sized snack.  And it's still structured like a snack, meaning that the kids chose what they ate, and fixed it themselves, and cleaned up after.  As opposed to dinner where whoever was cooking picked what was served and prepared it and everyone chose from the same selection, and then someone else did the dishes for everyone.  [/quote]
