Do you cook from scratch?  When my boss wanted to nix all starches and severely limit fruits and veggies, I made a spreadsheet with the vitamins and minerals per quantity of each food.  He let me go back to providing 4 fruits per day, and he allowed me to add quinoa and amaranth, as long as I was willing to grind and cook them myself.  I would have preferred to give the kids more than 2 Tbs of dairy per day.  I got the kids to eat kale and other dark green veggies, but the quantity that they would have had to eat to equal the daily required calcium simply wasn't going to happen.[/quote]

About 70 percent of what I feed them is from scratch, meal wise.  Snacks only when it's something like banana bites dipped in yogurt then frozen.  Overall they eat very healthy.  They also seem to be in a better mood and less fatigued when I'm giving them a grain and couple of items with carbs during the day.  But they eat a lot of fruit.  Since I've been with them they also eat a lot of spinach because I don't do dairy.  But she was asking me to cut down their dairy in take to about 3 oz and only at dinner! Smh I made sure I made lots of smoothies and extra spinach when she was going through that phase.  The. She got worried I was giving them too much sugar from all of the fruit. [/quote]
