[quote=Anonymous]You are missing fat from their diet. If their body fat gets too low they will get more injuries. Fat protects the joints, muscles and bones from impact.

I would add cheese to their eggs and their sandwiches.

My boys eat 4 meals a day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner (5pm), dinner (8pm), dessert.

Dessert is usually milk shake or ice cream because it has the dairy/fat they need and is lower in sugar than cake. 
A smoothie can act as a meal or a dessert, use WHOLE MILK yogurt. 
Sometime I put out a charcuterie platter before dinner for dinner #1... cheese, meats, and bread.

Add granola to their yogurt, smoothies and cereal.

Chipotle is a savior.

Cereal can be dinner #1... add granola.

Quesadilla is a quick meal... left over chicken and some cheese.

I add butter to everything. I will add a pad of butter to their spaghetti and meat sauce, scrambled eggs, bread.

Gatorade has a protein bar with 20g of protein.

Sour cream is high in fat, calories... I will make veggie soup like butternut squash for me, but then mix sour cream in theirs.

The trick is to give them high calorie food that is not filling because if they are full they won't eat. Of course, they are usually hungry. [/quote]
