Our dd is always always hungry and she is, frankly, getting chubby
We are doing all we can to steer her to carrot sticks, cucumber, apple, breadsticks, rice cakes or dried fruit but there seems to be an incessant cry of I'm hungry
She is tall for her age at 1.18cm and has size 11 feet already, she is really active, running dancing, we walk the dogs twice a day, she rides at weekends and goes to a very active nursery.
Any suggestions for low calorie, filling snacks?
This is what she has had today
Breakfast - porridge (kids microwave one) plus a couple of apple rings and apricots. Small glass of milk and glass of water
Mid morning - apple plus 4 small rice cakes, then a fruit leather treat, water (has a drink bottle on the go all day)some before and some after 40 minute riding lesson
Lunch - 1 slice of bread with marmite, carrot sticks and cucumber with hummus, babybel
Glass of milk at 4
Supper - Small M&s kids pizza with salad (cucumber, tomato, red pepper and peas) yoghurt. Rice cake, milk, more milk, another rice cake
We have tried hard to distract her today and not give her more.
There are occaisonal sweet treats, but they are usually of the fruit leather type
Her friends are all skinny picky feeders, am I being paranoia and put it down to an impending growth spurt??
