I could use some ideas on food selections for Flipper. Here's the problem: she has had a rough winter with H1N1, getting tooth infections (finally had two of the 4 involved pulled) and now staph infections. She has never been a very big kid, but is now struggling to maintain her weight. At the doctor yesterday, she was told that she has to eat more or exercise less - if she loses any more weight, the doctor threatened to restrict her gymnastics.
She already eats constantly - loves food, but eats only healthy food. I know - I am glad she likes good food and that she has learned to listen to her body and knows she feels better when she eats healthy, but we need to pack some calories into her. Another mitigating factor is teeth - she has several loose and a couple missing making eating meets and nuts difficult or painful. She doesn't like anything frozen (think that stems from early childhood teeth problems).
Recipes? Ideas? I hate to think what this will do to my hips! I told her daddy that I would pay a doctor to tell me to eat more and exercise less, but it's not going to happen!
