DD3 is 15 years old and has been very unwell for over a year, although is now slowly recovering. I am having a crisis of confidence in anticipation of an appointment on Friday where I have been told that her diet needs to be discussed. I had always thought that the family ate pretty healthily, but would appreciate some other honest opinions. The quantity of food cannot be in question as she is spot-on height/weight wise.
Breakfast
Bowl of nut clusters OR Bran flakes Or toast (maybe with Choc spread, but only allowed on a Saturday morning)
Drink of apple juice.
Lunch
Homemade bread with mayonnaise (doesn?t like butter) Ham and salad.
OR Cheese and ham salad
Or small pasta salad
Afternoon snack ? If she has one. Probably only 3 or 4 times a week.
Pack of quavers
OR homemade oat biscuit
OR grapes
OR homemade scone
Main meal. (I will give you the meals for the last 4 nights as an example)
Homemade Shepherds Pie ? peas & carrots in it, with sweetcorn.
Chicken breast cooked in gravy, boiled potatoes, peas & carrots
Jacket Potato filled with tuna/mayonnaise and sweetcorn
Homemade Lasagne with leeks.
Puddings (The 3 she has had this week.)
Homemade oaty apple crumble
Choc brownie with a scoop of ice cream
Meringue with ice cream and kiwi.
DD3 does not like fruit. We have no carbonated drinks in the house. Since the beginning of the year we think she has had 4 or 5 ?fast food? meals as treats.
OK so thanks for reading and I will take on board any honest opinions. I don?t think its bad, but will accept critisism, (but please be nice, no rotten tomatoes thrown this way please, or I may throw them back!!)
