[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD5 eats:

Boiled eggs
All fruit
Black beans
Corn
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Peas
Greek yogurt
Cheese
Salami
Honey nut cheerios
Toast with peanut butter

That's literally it. All her meals are comprised of those things and we just don't stress about it or fight it. She actually had her 5y check up today and is 99% for height and 85% for weight.[/quote]

I get this is limited in terms of number of foods but it’s full of plants and proteins. I know some people want their kids to be “adventurous” and that’s fine, but for me the issue is whether my child is getting sufficient nutrition. Your list wouldn’t worry/bother me at all. And with beans, eggs, and fruit/veggies on the list, you can probably eat out at restaurants even.

Different than a kid who refuses most proteins, fruits, or veggies, or is very limited in what textures she will eat. I’d be thrilled if my kid had 3-4 veggies she liked and I’d feed her those every day. Same with proteins. What’s hard is when she won’t eat ANY of that.[/quote]
