[quote=Anonymous]OP, can you pull together "your" food, and DH's food? I am sorry if I am totally off base here, but from your description of "your" food and how DS eats veggies, are you perhaps Indian, and if so, are you feeding DS foods where the veggies are an integral part of the dish, and he likes and eats them? Where I am going here is why not feed DS a bit of both kinds of food? A burger with veggie curry on the side (or whatever type of veggies you know he'll like). The thing with an underweight kid, and I've got one, is that you need to put aside, to some extent, the "balanced meal" thing and go for nutrient dense. So, sure, give the kid broccoli, but smother it in olive oil (or whatever fat your kid likes), and dip the fruit slices in peanut butter or full fat yogurt. A plane piece of fruit or a steamed veggie is a wasted opportunity![/quote]
