[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, sure. Doctor's visit to rule out diabetes and other serious health issues. But it sounds to me like she's going through a growth spurt. She's at the exact right age. Her body is craving more and more calories than she can probably get from black beans and soup and lean grilled meats and vegetables. Make sure every meal has a substantial side of palatable starch for her -- rolls, biscuits, egg noodles, rice, gnocchi, whatever she likes. Whole grain, natch. Or heat up some cheese on whole grain focaccia as an appetizer. Serve pizza more often now than you may have in the past -- make it from scratch and have her help with the toppings which can be very healthy. Make sure she gets more calories, easily, for three days in a row and I bet the yelling will subside. GROWING BODIES NEED CALORIES!![/quote] Yes! A growing middle school girl should not be eating like her perimenopausal, middle aged mom. Give that girl a starchy side.[/quote]
