I get Burp from the sitter this morning and ask, "What do you want for breakfast?"
He doesn't even have to think. "A granola bar, banana, carrot - big not babies, and an apple. I wish we had frozen peas."
What mom has to limit her kid's fruits and veggies? Me...
"No, how about some protein.... can we at least add peanut butter in there?"
We wheel and deal.
He finally agrees to a peanut butter and banana sandwich, a carrot, and an apple... and a granola bar- if he's still hungry.
He only got through the sandwich and carrot.
Yesterday was a plate of apple slices, carrot sticks, and celery sticks, all of which he liberally dipped in peanut butter.
The psychologist wants him to have a high protein breakfast. I've tried eggs and sausage, which he loved for the first week.... then refused to eat after that. He won't eat cereal. I even broke down and got him Lucky Charms... which he ate once. (I know it's not high protein, but with his ADHD meds it's pretty much a given that he won't eat much of lunch... and the boy is skin and bones. He's gotta eat breakfast.) The only breakfast I can get him to eat without a fight is bagels and fruits and veggies... Thank god he loves peanut butter - or I'd be totally screwed.
It may not be HIGH protein, but at least it's SOME protein.
*sigh*

Crap he eats me out of house and home...usually. Sadly Little Debbie cakes don't have a high protein value. Okay, they have no protein value.
You could get him some of those protein bars you get from the store and tell him it's a granola bar. Yay 15 - 20 grams of protein per bar? They're nummy, too.
