[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it is bad at all given your restrictions. I'd probably drop the pretzels and replace it with another fruit or veg your child will eat. Or no replacement (half a bagel plus fruit and an applesauce would be plenty lunch for many elementary school aged kids, esp if they get a snack at school, too). I often notice people on this site throwing out hummus as a high protein option - 2T of hummus only has 2g of protein - I love hummus but it really doesn't beef up your protein intake. Also, nut butters/sunflower seed butter tend to be pretty high in sugars, so I don't view them as a great addition either. You could include a baggie of dry high protein cereal to his lunch. Also, I'd make sure your kid eats a breakfast high in protein and he's probably fine with that lunch until his tastes broaden a bit and you can add deli meat or hard boiled egg or left overs, etc. [/quote]
