DS1 (9) is tall, slim and active. A happy boy but he get's hungry quickly (high metabolism like me).
Breakfast - one of the following - pancakes/toast/cereal/glass of fruit juice/croissants
School morning break - he has toast and chocolate milk from the tuck shop
He says school dinners are too small.
He is hungry after school so has a cereal bar and a smoothie (to get some fruit in).
Dinner - he won't eat anything roasted or too brown. He says it's 'burnt' (when it's not). Sausages are fine in the slow cooker as they are soft but he's not a big meat eater. He will pick out the mince in a spag bol as it's too dark. He loves gammon. He prefers food that's lighter in colour.
On holiday, he chose rice, pasta/spaghetti and pasta sauce every day. He loves pasta sauce so I whizz lots of veg into that.
He likes boiled potatoes but not keen on chips. He would live on pasta if he could.
After 5pm dinner, I offer yoghurt but it doesn't fill him up. I get stuck as he doesn't like fruit, rice pudding or custard. He then asks for more food at bedtime (plain toast/porridge/Weetabix).
AIBU to think his diet isn't too bad but he could do with more protein and fat? I get stuck on meal ideas for him. He can't be doing too badly as he has so much energy but it seems a lot about texture?
