What did your kid eat yesterday??

[Twinkie]

After the crisp debate I wondered what you healthy type guys make your kids eat in a day (just being nosey really!!)

DD is 4 next week and her diet yesterday was:

2 slices of wholemeal toast with strawberry jam
1 bag of grapes
1 bag of chocolate buttons (from party bag)
1 buttered scone
2 sticks of celery
I stick of Pex Sweets
4 pieces of low fat garlic bread
1 large bowl of pasta with meat and tomato sauce
1 large bowl of strawberries with plain bio yogurt
2 small bottles of water and 2 of squash and a carton of milk at school

Ok, well i was thinking of publishing it, but i will share it with you lot first.
1 tin of Lyles Golden Syrup.
Fondue forks
Fudge, Marshmallows, Chocolate, Toffee, Mini Marsbars Bounties and Twix for dipping

ds1 is 4.5, dd is 2.5 -

breakfast..ds 2 pieces of toast and jam, big bowl of cheerios. dd 1 piece of toast and honey, bowl of shreddies.

Snack - juice and biscuit

Lunch - ds1 peanut butter sandwhich, packet of hula hoops, banana, sultanas, chunk of cheese, half an apple and a small sausage roll. dd honey sandwhich, hula hoops, sultanas, banana and small sausage roll.

On return from nursery - milkshake and a biscuit each. (ds1 has free fruit at nursery as well)

Tea - both had cottage pie and steamed brocolli, carrots and peas followed by a yougurt.

Twinkie - can't remember as were a wedding present; will try and find out for you!

Oh mairialuisa

it was a joke

chill

Corn on Cob holder - for you Twinkie! These are similar one set we have. From lakeland. 8 for £1.55; Bargain!!! And saves you getting sticky fingers. No, actually we find it makes it easier for Dd to hold the corn.

hula! have you out lakelandded me?

How do you get your kids to eat that much?? I don't know what dd lives on. yesterday:
1 cup of milk when waking up (in bed!)
Breakfast: 1 croissant with cherry jam + 1 bowl of fresh strawberries
Snack at about 11sh: 1 biscuit, some raisins mixed with cherrios and other dried fruit
Lunch: chips (i always make them myself and yes the potatoes are organic but i use sunflower oil, i heard olive oil is v unhealthy when at high temperatures), roast turkey, 1 carrot, 1 tomato, 1 green bean, 1 floret of broccoli and 1 of cauliflower, icecream mized with fromaige frais
Snack: 1 breadstick, 1/2 apple
Tea: fishpie, 3 tbs spinach, apple pie, lots of raspberries
Bedtime: 1 cup of milk.
Only drinks water during the day

Blyme, that's a lot more than i thought she's eating. I'm surprised here. I try and get organic when i can but keep an eye on the price. I'm not stressed out about it but i think veg that come from the ground or are on the ground (potatoes, carrots, turnip, salad, strawberries) and milk (these cows eat a lot of grass, don't they?) and eggs are better organic. But i don't follow this rule all the time. - couldn't be bothered to type on the other thread so i put it all here.

LOL - actually never used Lakeland but may do later today; have some good bits and bobs by looks of it!

Grommit
we use a supplement called paediasure, dd has a syndrome which means she does not metabolise fats or sugars that well...
We go through a lot of cheese sauce
And yoghurt, but prob with dairy is it is mucous forming, so we prefer the paediasure, it is 200cals milkshake style readymade drink, prescribed by dietician then on repeat from GP, has had dramatic impact on weight gain in 3 months.
HTH do you know what causes your dd's low weight?

We use Fortini for ds2 Piffle, v similar. Ds2 has put on loads of weight since starting it. Fantastic stuff.

This is so depressing. My dd doesn't eat anything like the amount of food your lot do and I don't spend anything like the amount of time in the kitchen as you lot do! Maybe there's a connection there ...

DD, 20 months ate yesterday:
Cup of milk, small bowl cheerios
Few bits of broccoli, 2 bits of baby corn, half a potato waffle, half a satsuma
Cup of milk mid afternoon with 1/2 slice dry brown bread
Pasta with tomato and cheese sauce
Cup of milk before bed.

we used fortini too piffle, it works

So which MNer does this lad belong to?

ummhere hopefully

Oh, a sugar sandwich at nine months old, now coddy, look at us all faint dead away

just read that marialuisa. imagine how many deficiencies this boy has and how many illnesse he'll suffer from later in life (weak bones, diabetes etc) and he weights hardly anyhthing for his height imo. shocking really. what sort of parents has he got???

Coddy

I remember because she's so fussy that anything that goes dwon her throat sticks to my mind I'm afraid.............

If you just compare my short list with what the thers have you'll see it's not difficult to remember in my case....

Not that I'm worried, I've given up on that long time ago, she must be thriving on air, just like her mum

Well, DS (2.5) is a rubbish eater and this is what he had yesterday:

2 Weetabix with plain yoghurt and milk
Milk and biscuits at nursery
Small packet milk chocolate buttons (someone's birthday at nursery)
Ham and cream cheese roll, yoghurt drink, satsuma
Grapes, kiwifruit, 1 mini savoury muffin
1 slice foccacia
1.5 potato smileys
2cm bit of sausage (refused veg, rice, and rest of sausage...)
1 mini-milk (!)
1 apricot
3 packets raisins
Water to drink through the day

Best meal is usually breakfast, plus he will consume unlimited quantities of raisins and fruit if given the chance.

Breakfast: toasted bagel and butter, bowl of Cheerios (no milk on ds2's - won't eat wet cereal) Pure orange juice

Ds2 shouts throughout "bisskit!bisskit!bisskit!"

Lunch: baked beans on wholemeal toast with grated cheese on top. Flavoured water.

Ds2 shouts throughout "ice kweam! ice kweam! ice kweam!"

I give in to pester power and give him a Refreshers ice lolly full of E-additives. He stops shouting (bliss).

When ds2 wakes up after his nap he will have a couple of fig rolls, ds1 will have a digestive biscuit or two. They will both have plain water.

Dinner: We are going to have chicken, new potatoes and salad. Ds2 will eat some salad but ds1 won't - he can have sweetcorn, ds2 will want some too. Ds2 will not eat much chicken and will attempt, at some point during the meal, to chuck his plate across the room. I will be waiting for this and move with the speed of a coiled snake to thwart his dastardly plan.

Pudding will be ice kweam and fruit (grapes, satsumas, apples). No fruit for ds2, he claims to be allergic to it. Both will have apple juice (ds1's allergy is strangely untriggered by juice).

Remains to be seen what ds2 will be shouting about during his evening meal, possibly "Dairylea Lunchables! Cheesestrings! Can of Red Bull!"

Coddy you are funny. I agree. FWIW mine ate weetabix, fruit (raisins or baby orange) and milk for breakfast; cooked lunch DS1 at school, snacks of baby orange and apple, DD and DS2 lunch and dinner at childminders; dinner DS1 cheese on toast, cherry toms and cocktail sausages. Mine are 5, 3, 1. Reckon they do OK. We should all be glad (looking at some therads!) that they are all so willing to eat!

LOL Marthmoo!
