[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all. Harsh but true. A night or two w out dinner wont kill them, you're right. I just have my mother in law in my ear all the time about how she's worried that they aren't getting enough nutrients. [/quote]

Well, to be honest, if what she sees them eating is chicken fingers and mac and cheese then she might have reason for concern.  Feed them like you'd feed yourself (hopefully).  Well balanced meals with protein, carb, fruit and/or veg options.  They may choose not to eat it, but if they know that mom will serve them processed crap instead of the healthy meal in front of them, of course they'll choose not to eat it!

Do they eat healthy meals and snacks the rest of the day?

Breakfast: Oatmeal and a banana.  Cereal and milk.  Waffle with peanut butter.   Nothing fancy, nothing complicated.

Lunch: Sandwich on whole grain bread.  Veggies and hummus.  Leftovers from the night before.  Options are endless here.

Dinner: Again, well balanced and nutritious.

They will learn to eat well, especially if there aren't other options in front of them.[/quote]
