My son, nearly ten is very tall and heavy for his age. Lately he has developed a belly, double chin and looks very fat compared to his peers.
I cook from scratch but he generally refuses vegetables so his diet is mainly eggs, meat, yoghurt, apples, milk, cheese, bananas, rice , bread and cereal. I don't let him have juice, fizzy drinks or biscuits, cereal bars, crisps or sugary snacks.
He eats alot and I realize his intake is carb heavy.
Should I cut his portions?
He does plenty of sport in and out of school and 3x week swimming but is not a super active child, happier indoors than out.
I've battled wirh vege since weaning and my other children happily eat salad etc without complaining.
For the record DH is also a salad dodger and podgy.
