As part of a Science Assignment, DD1 (8) was asked to complete a Food Diary for a week. We started last Saturday and finishing today.
I always thought perhaps she ate too much junk, like chocolate/biscuits/crisps but after detailing every single thing that has passed her mouth this week I have been very surprised to find that :
a) on average she eats 4x veg/fruit a day. Yesterday, she managed 9 lots of different fruit and veg!
b) Chocolate - she had a chocolate bar on Monday after swimming lessons and had a Mini Milky Bar after school today.
c) No crisps or sweets at all.
d) She had 2 biscuits after school on Tuesday.
I think I might do this every now and then just to keep track of what they're eating!
