[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t sound like you are the problem it could be anxiety related for her. But what non meat proteins have you tried? Will she eat black beans? My kid loves them on tortilla cheese with some shredded cheese with it all stuck under the broiler for 2 mins. Apple with PB and honey is a favorite snack of hers too. If she won’t touch meat look at no meat options…. Eggs, try different ways of cooking them, my kid won’t eat a fried egg by itself for example but loves it on a mini bagel. French toast, loves it.

OP here and I hear you. She stopped eating meat around 3.5 and non-meat proteins have become a big focus. She used to consistently eat beans but that's actually what prompted my frustrations today -- I meal prepped rice and beans for her this week which is usually one of our go-tos, and then both yesterday and today she rejected it, and told me she doesn't like how beans taste anymore, and picked at the rice. Losing that is such a blow -- we're down to yogurt, peanut butter, nuts, and a few protein-fortified foods now. And milk. But again, looking at maybe there being lactose intolerance, which cuts us down peanut butter and nuts, and I can't send peanut butter to school or camp.

Thinking about this makes me so exhausted.[/quote]

Just wanted to point out that most people who have lactose intolerance can still eat yogurt. So you may not have to lose that if she has lactose intolerance.[/quote]
