Yeah he's getting more carbs than I would like in the daytime and mainly because it rules them out as quick options for me lol
But she does fruit, yogurt, her own baking, and she makes everything on her own. She does sandwiches with deli meat or grilled cheese or french toast or spaghetti with homemade meat sauce and various other things. The snacks all seem reasonably healthy, mostly fruit and veg and yogurt, occasional crackers and ice pops in the summer (so hot here!)
Tonight DH made him a Marmite crumpet and I gave him some crudites with tzatziki dip (which he happily ate! bell peppers, carrots from a friend's garden, cucumber slices). Topped off with about half a cup of milk (is all he wanted). He seemed fine and was ready for bed.
Thing is this kid rarely asks for food. If you ask him if he's hungry he always says no (much like do you need the potty - no, are you tired - no, everything is no still!) The only time he asked recently was after swimming on Saturday, then he got upset 'snack I need snack' lol Clearly swimming makes one hungry! Or sometimes he'll just randomly ask for pancakes or pizza, then I know he's hungry and craving carbs...
He does eat very well, she is very pleased that he will try most things she offers and eats a ton of the stuff he does like. Wonders where he puts it all lol He'll have two helpings of spaghetti and ask for more.
Should I be counting his calories and that? I'm not. I'm not even counting my own lol
