[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 548715, member: 1233"] Get a variety of the protein bars. Look for ones with roughly a 40/30/30 ratio of carbs/protein/fat. Balance bars and Zone bars are roughly that proportion, so any of those brands are good. Otherwise, read the labels and do some math. I hate health food and love the balance gold caramel nut bars. They are like snickers but not as gooey. Put these in her backpack and hand her one before school. They will not give her the sugar rush that a granola bar will. From a nutritional standpoint, granola bars are pretty much cookies though they do have more whole grains in them usually. Also consider some of the instant breakfast stuff or read the labels on the various protein drinks out there. You are not looking for low cal, but for nutrition, which can be harder to find. EAS has a protein powder in vanilla that is pretty good when added to homemade granola or in a shake or even in muffins. It is not sugar free (I am allergic to artif sweeteners, so I have had to look for the things with sugar). It is HARD to go into the lunchroom to eat if you don't have friends with the same lunch. The where to sit question can be paralyzing. I can still remember the first day of school after we moved when I didn't know anyone and how stressed I was. That may be part of ehr problem. You may not hear her if she is throwing up. If you haven't lived with someone with bulimia you have NO clue how quiet they can vomit. It is shocking, but it can be close to silent and they get quiet faster than you would think possible. I would talk to the therapist, keep a close eye out, and make those shorts disappear. Don't say anything about them, just find them, cut them so they cannot be fished out and worn again, and then throw them away with something messy and yucky. [/QUOTE]
