[quote=Anonymous]Thinness does not equate to healthy. And, low fat no fat foods are not ideal even when trying to loose weight.  So you may want to consult a dietitian or nutritionist (whichever is the one that has the more rigorous certification attached).    They may help you determine what foods are best kept in the home that both can eat and enjoy.   Limiting both daughters to foods that only fill to help one put on weight and the other loose weight, may actually be counterproductive.   Instead, it might be best to choose foods that will fill
their nutritional needs.  If your younger daughter has a hard time controlling portion size maybe a full fat bowl of something that at least leans healthy as a snack or meal, might support her in eating less of the snacks you want to limit.  So before the more “fun” foods make sure they get those that fill their bellies both nutritionally and that give a fuller feeling.   Even when trying to lose weight - it’s calories that matter more than the fat.  Even then, better to get more calories from sources like fruit or things like popcorn than chips and cookies.
