[quote=Anonymous]First, do some research online to see how much protein a child of her age/size should be eating. I did this for my picky eater (8.5y) and it was really helpful. The CDC and Baylor College of Medicine both have info online and are reliable sources.

Second, anything that she will eat, read labels VERY carefully to find the mot nutrient dense option. Example: Trader Joe's WW Cinnamon Raisin English Muffins have 6 grams of protein in them. That with butter and one turkey sausage link is my DD's breakfast every day. Arnold Protein bread has 7g protein per slice. They're big slices and you can easily cut one in half and make a small sandwich that packs a decent nutritional punch.

If she will eat yogurt, make sure you are getting Greek yogurt - the real stuff - it has 3x the protein of regular yogurt.

Cheese

Slather butter on anything she'll eat with butter, pasta, toast, her waffles, etc.

Avocado - try cubed, try mild guac, google the chocolate pudding recipe that uses avocado

I have a GF cake recipe that is basically eggs, chick peas, chocolate, and sugar. It's really good - even DH did not guess what was in it. Maybe reduce the sugar in it and make it as muffins instead? http://allrecipes.com/recipe/garbanzo-bean-chocolate-cake-gluten-free/

Good luck. It's really hard, I know.[/quote]
