[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How often are you home for dinner, OP?  If you could be home, say 2X mid-week, then Saturday and Sunday and you make those healthy meals with healthy dessert after, then you could let DD know that it's okay to eat fast food with Dad those other nights.  If she is eating healthy breakfast and lunch 7 days per week and healthy dinners 4 days per week, and she is active, then I think it's fine to let go of three nights.  It might help your Dh feel like he's "winning" and you could also open a discussion with DD about balance, treats, etc.  Go through a DQ menu and look at different calorie counts, etc.  She is old enough to be having an ongoing discussion about how nutrition works (maconutrient balance, caloric content, filling foods vs empty carbs, and so on).[/quote]

I see what you're saying. I don't think healthy dinners a few days a week with make much of a difference in calorie intake if 250-400 calorie snacks are available to her every day.

What I don't want to do is make her mental about having to choose between donuts and strawberries. If better snacks are available, it should make it easier. I'm concerned about her feeling shame and hiding her eating, which I've seen other children do and the consequences of it. [/quote]
