[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cook at home most day# despite having a busy job. I do not fry foods and for protein we stick to fish and chicken. Pasta is whole grain when we eat it, and my kid has a vegetable and fresh fruit with dinner in addition to the protein. No juice or sweetened punch or soda. We do eat small desserts regularly often homemade. But my 11 year old is overweight . Could just be puberty or it may last. She doesn’t eat lower quality food than her skinny friends. Just different metabolism or hormones. [/quote] Adding-And my husband who eats the same food as us just larger quantities is super skinny. I used to be skinny but my metabolism died at age 45 and now I’m overweight too. It’s not as simplistic as you imagine. Pains me that people are probably judging us and assuming we feed my daughter snickers and big Mac’s every day.[/quote]
