Eat With the Kids: 2/3/10

Today we'll start easy and follow my 8-year-old gal. She'll eat basically whatever is handed to her and aims to please. It has become important to her to eat health foods like her parents, read food labels, and is not a big snacker. She basically only eats when she's hungry. She is the only kid that will wrestle me down for the last slice of an orange.






7:00 AM
Breakfast:

1 cup oatmeal (made with skim milk, sweetened with a bit of brown sugar)
1/2 pear (if she can eat it before her younger brother swipes it first)



11:15 AM
Lunch:

1 turkey wrap (1 Kidz Flat Out bread, 1 slice of deli turkey, 1 slice of cheddar cheese)
1 boiled egg
1 no sugar added Cinnamon applesauce
1 clementine orange

Tressa likes four things in her lunch, for whatever reason. This looks a bit sparse to me... Tomorrow I'm adding a fifth something.




4:15 PM
After school snacks:

Yep, I was right. She had chess club after school and was starving when I picked her up!

a 82 Blackberry Spice mini muffins ( I have no idea how many)

strawberries
1 slice of whole wheat bread
1 glass of skim milk
