[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Typical day: breakfast burritos and fruit. Chicken nuggets, string cheese, apples and ketchup for lunch. Chili with ground beef and rice and a veggie for dinner. Snacks about 11 and 2 and 4. Snacks might include: pepperoni, fruit leather, yogurt, carrots, bell peppers, cheese and crackers, popcorn, plus a serving of whatever we baked that day. We go for hot chocolate at Starbucks once or twice a week. We do dessert of fruit and cool whip or a serving of ice cream.

The additional food is on top of all that. [/quote]

It could be an issue with portion size. My 3.5 and 7 go through food like you can’t imagine. A typical breakfast is two eggs, large bowl of oatmeal, and fruit. Lunch might be a large serving of meat or other protein plus veggies, rice, fruit. I’m talking a large plate that could feed a big adult. If we take them to an Indian buffet restaurant they are eating 2 or 3 full plates. These are skinny kids, but they eat a lot. I remember when I was your daughter’s age I was constantly hungry because although my parents tried to feed us well, there just wasn’t enough protein and fat and meals and meal portions were quite small.[/quote]
