[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Can't address the DD who wants to lose weight (although it sounds like a bad idea, and [b]drinking "food" is generally unhelpful)[/b]. However, why is your teen who is trying to gain weight eating an egg white? He should be eating whole eggs at a minimum, and even then it's not very calorie dense. He needs things like peanut butter, cheese, avocados, granoloa with nuts and whole milk. I know because my kids have to eat these per the ped and nutritionist. And always liquids after solids--eat first, drink after.[/quote]

I used to think like you, that nutrition had to be 'chewed' in order to be healthy.  You're wrong.  It's what's in the stuff that's important.  One of my kids has SN and it took me longer than it should have to accept, even though I was working with professionals, to recognize that good nutrition didn't require chewing.  My kid won't 'chew' in the morning but he absolutely will drink.  He get's a high protein Boost drink every morning.  The rest of us have grabbed on every now and then because it's convenient and healthy.  My 100 year old grandmother has also done a lot better since she started including them.  [/quote]

Yes it's better for someone who would not eat at all, but chewing your food is healthier for a healthy human with no underlying issues.[/quote]
