to think nesquick whole grain cereal, fat free milk and no added sugar juice is relatively healthy for a fussy eater

[twistedsista]

Hi,

My 7 year old Ds is a very fussy eater, tried everything!

I would love it if he would eat kale with cottage cheese on rice cakes for breakfast but get real no child eats perfectly like that.

Today he had a normal sized bowl of whole grain nesquick cereal with skimmed milk.I know it has some sugar in it but its only about the same as a banana and to counter this he has a glass of sugar free orange squash. Both the cereal and juice have added vitamins. Does everyone else agree this is pretty healthy and realistic breakfast?

Thanks

Marie

No thanks,not everybody is fat and not everybody with a normal healthy size eats eggs for breakfast.

Smaller portions,a balanced diet high in fruit/veg and limited red meat,sugar and junk combined with plenty of exercise keeps people a healthy size.

Wondering if MN should be renamed Eggs-lover-Net.

So going with with Tesco corn flakes & value eggs,
Costs 11.06p to get 100 kcalories from eggs,
and 6.935p to get 100 kcalories from cereal.

So I humbly submit that cereal is usually a much cheaper way to get calories. About 2/3 the cost of eggs.

This thread is making me hate all breakfast cereals yet also crave a mound of crunchy nut cornflakes with full fat milk

Eggs for breakfast make me gag. I have tried to like them.

Does that include the milk?

We having apples this morning. And Nigella's snickers and peanut butter muffins.

Never have eaten eggs for breakfast, and I grew up in the 60's and 70's, you know, when everyone was thin.Eggs were usually for cooking or making into a dinner (something like ham and egg pie), apart from the rare occasion. And we ate a lot of carbohydrates.Lots of bread and potatoes.

We quite often had boiled eggs for breakfast, or tea - with bread and butter soldiers. We each had our own egg cups, Dad had one of those double eggcup things.
We also quite often had half grapefruits for breakfast, and special pointy spoons for getting the segments out.
Dad also made "eggy bread" for breakfast on special occasions, with honey. I expect it has a proper name but it was beaten egg and a slice of bread fried together.
Also grew up in the 1970s.

Milk works out as ~8.8pence for 100 kcal -- still cheaper way to get calories than from eggs. Milk is about as nutritionally complete, while probably having somewhat less environmental impact than the eggs.

I've just ordered it n trying to find other mums opinion about it. It was recommended in an other book (the aware baby) and I can't wait to read it. I do believe kids know what they need. Could u tell me more about your experience?
