[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the mom of the 10.5 year old.  She really just wasn't consuming enough cals in a day and said she wasn't hungry.  She will eat baguette with butter for lunch, (won't eat any sandwiches on normal bread), stouffers mac and cheese is quite caloric, we do pasta with lots of parm cheese and butter, chicken thighs and white rice with a little broccoli.  We do two big cups of carnation instant breakfast a day.  She sometimes will have a cheese stick.  She likes Morningstar farm chicken nuggets (not real chicken ones).  She does one carnation during the day at school most days of the week.  She drinks it quickly in the back of classroom.  [/quote]

DD likes the Carnation Instant Breakfast and does that at night, alternating with ice cream. We are adding heavy cream in her breakfast cereal and a serving of fruit for breakfast, a mid-morning protein bar at school, 4oz of Ensure Compact in the afternoon with her snack. I may ask if she can get a little extra time for lunch - she may object if she feels singled out though. We are keeping a diary of all her favorite foods.[/quote]
