[quote=Anonymous]1) OP, I like that you used the word perfidy.

2) PP, string cheese is real cheese. American cheese is not.

3) OP, I'd suggest making your meals bigger. Breakfast burritos can be really filling, depending on what you put in them. Consider adding yogurt with your breakfast fruit. Chicken nuggets and apples and string cheese might not be filling enough for growing kids. Consider adding a salad, especially one with cheese and nuts. For the dinner rice, consider making it brown, which is more filling than white. And make sure your chili is filled with meat and beans, both of which are filling. My suggestion for you is to increase the intake at meal times. Three snacks is a lot during the day, although I appreciate how hard it is with kids doing DL (my kids are doing in-person school now but they definitely snacked more when they were home last spring). Another idea is to find things that take longer to eat at snack time. So pepperoni and fruit leather are easy and quick to consume and aren't all that filling, so they're not ideal. Sunflower seeds or pistachios that you have to shell take longer. Celery with peanut butter takes a while to chew. Carrots and hummus or even ranch are the same. Hardboiled eggs are super filling and easy to make ahead. Just some thoughts. Good luck.[/quote]
