[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With a kid who isn’t hungry due to meds, getting something with calories and protein in a few bites is priority.  If that means a sugary whole milk Greek Yogurt or skyr, or home made or some Just Bare nuggets I am good with that.  Work on variety and vegetables when the meds are in full force and the environment is less distracting.[/quote]

Absolutely this.  Lunch is not the time to worry about a fully complete nutritional meal.  Breakfast and dinner you can control but lunch may just end up in the bin if it isn’t appetizing or they are too distracted to eat it.

One of mine really liked pasta with pesto or Raos tomato sauce — we cooked it in the morning and put it in a heated thermos.  You can use protein pasta if they’ll eat that.  Sometimes I also send whole wheat banan chocolate chip muffins.  The rachel ray breakfast cookies are also okay for protein and fiber.  Sometimes we also just do “snack lunch” which is like a cheese stick, an apple sauce and a cereal bar and maybe some dried fruit or grapes.  Texture can be an issue with packed fruit as it tends to get mushy.  It you pack a paper towel under it in the container that helps prevent the mush factor.
