How about some little tubs of low fat yoghurt? Or you could get him some of those tuna and cracker snack packs? Or even low fat cheese and wholegrain crackers?

He is very fussy Amy. Doesn't like yoghurt, tuna only eaten in tuna mornay. Will give the cheese and crackers a go. We usually have that for afternoon tea. He doesn't eat alot of red meat either, fussy little bugger.

He loves the Quakers oats in the morning, might add some ground up seeds and nuts to that.

Hm, thats tricky then DG. Would he drink milk?

I don't eat red meat either :-)) Do you know how his iron levels are?

Ground up nuts and seeds are a good idea. Or you could make a homemade peanut or cashew nut butter to spread on wholegrain crackers or toast ;)

DG what about the healthy choc balls from the recipe community? Made with nuts, seeds, dates and cocoa.

DJ we try to be healthy. I can say that now as my tummy is full from eating out. I did have lots of salad (I had dressing on it :'() and then I had sweets. Tonights dinner will be cut way back though. As it's raining it will be soup and a buttermilk roll from the freezer.

Chanel 10 on the Morning Show was promoting a new book called the Lunch box Revolution. Looked excellent, aimed at school kids - would love to have a look at it for me  ;D

I think it would be worthwhile to have a look. Also DG, can I just comment about six pieces of fruit a day?  It is a lot. Some people (me for example) cant eat that much fructose - can lead to obesity and prediabetes or diabetes. Can you substitute a few pieces with veggie sticks and home made dips for your little boy?

Well we had 2 portions of dessert between 3 tonight, fewer potatoes and extra veg. It's a start!

Trouble is the dire cold wet weather is making us all hungrier...... And it is meant to be summer!

DG if he likes tuna in mornay would he like a cheesy/tuna dip to have with crackers? I don't eat tuna but I think I've seen a recipe on her for a tuna dip, my kids would eat it this way when they were younger.
