[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My school aged children have a juice box every day with their lunch.

Is there something wrong with juice?

If they're burning the calories with exercise I don't think so. In my book the issue is with the empty calories.[/quote]

My kids is in the 5th %ile for BMI for his age.   Do you think it's OK he drinks juice??[/quote]

What % for height?[/quote]

Actually you should be giving him butter, eggs, cheese, whole milk.  Not empty sugar calories.  He needs the fat for brain development.[/quote]

He eats all of this things!   Still very underweight though.[/quote]

5th %ile poster, my son is under the 1st %ile BMI and although we look at him and cringe sometimes at how thin he is, we just go with it.  When he was younger, our ped wanted us to try to fatten him up, but now that he's 2, we figure that's just his body type and that to make a big deal out of food could lead to worse eating issues down the road.  We do not give him juice. I hear you about being concerned though.  I actually have a child whose BMI is at the 93rd %ile and it's worrying to have kids at opposite ends of the spectrum![/quote]
