Because if you're silly about it and give too much, ie adult servings there's too much protein going into the body.I was wondering about protein powder... Since it says on the label not to feed to the kiddos.
If this happens on an ongoing basis it's bad for the kidneys which have to work really hard to get rid of the extra protein.
You can find protein requirements by body weight for kids around the place. Gymnasts training high hours might require more than average, but only add smaller amounts anyway.
I usually just sit there and feed mine chicken. If she eats in the car we're OK, but by the time we get home it's basically bed time and she eats super slow so I just give in and shovel it in to her so it's quicker.
