DD does a lot of ballet, 5 hours per week.
Since starting secondary school she has refused to eat breakfast. I've tried cajoling, making anything she wants but since september she has got worse, not better.
on Saturday mornings she does 3 hours of ballet. This weekend she ate a bit of toast beforehand and only because I refused to take her until she'd eaten.
I don't believe she is trying to lose weight, she is naturally skinny and eats a lot for dinner (as many roast potatoes as she can get her hands on etc...) she just doesn't want breakfast.
I watched her class at the weekend - she has lost muscle, the other girls at her level are like athletes. Unless she builds her muscle back fast she's going out the back door at her level.
She won't eat eggs (outgrown egg allergy but can't stomach them).
She won't eat porridge or cereal.
She will have a hot chocolate and often gets a croissant when she gets to school but that is a terrible breakfast imo but better than nothing?!
Any suggestions?
TIA
