[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 423082, member: 11791"] Good point, [B]rlsnights[/B] Tried this with K2 (not quite difficult child) - Stop looking just at calories. It doesn't really matter how many calories they take in as long as they have reasonable weight. SO - all the calories you want as long as it is high in food value. That even includes chocolate in moderation... For example: GORP plus M&Ms... (remember GORP? the original trail mix... good old raisins and peanuts, usually with some form of chocolate added). Dried apricots. Fruit leather. If you can afford it, beef jerky. Vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, and lots of fluids... if that comes wrapped up with some extra calories, so be it. The protein and fiber (and fat if present) slow down the blood-sugar high. What you don't want is unadulterated junk food... no vitamins/minerals/protein/fiber... [/QUOTE]
