Not likely it would be breakfast. She is not a big breakfast eater at all
but she may be going on Metformin or something and if she needs it with
breakfast she will have to eat something then.

I can't use the whey powder or yogurt most of the time because they are
dairy. And the only smoothie type fruits she likes are strawberries and
bananas. I know bananas are out.

I do not make breakfast. Morning is not a good time of day for me. Last
year she did eat some coconut granola type bars for a while. I think she
could still do those but I will have to check the carb count. Or she might
just have some apple slices or baby carrots. That was about all I could get
her to eat.

Her lunch will come much later in the day than it did last year though.
Last year she had to eat lunch at 10:30 which is why I didn't push the
breakfast. I figured if I could just get a couple of bites of something in
her that would keep her until she could eat her lunch.

But then she wouldn't eat much lunch either. Maybe an applesauce, more
apple slices or carrots perhaps with a little tub of hummus. On a dairy day
she would have a small Lunchable nachos. Only one dairy day falls during
school though and she didn't always want those. I would have to check the
carb count but I think they are still doable. Or she would just take a
piece of cheese.

She seems to suffer from what her dad suffers from and it is the same thing
his dad had. Not wanting to eat during the day and wanting to eat all
night. I did see something about this somewhere and it is has a name for
it. Some kind of disorder. But I can't remember the name of it. That will
have to change too.

I don't think she necessarily eats bad foods. I tend not to bring too many
bad foods home. But she has been sneaking food. And that will have to
stop. She wanted Nutella. I only let her buy a small jar because I had
just thrown out a large jar that had expired. Tonight I caught her eating
some from a spoon. That will have to stop too.

Normally when she does have smoothies they are for snacks. I do not let her
have them very often and more likely I will get them out somewhere instead
of making them at home. But that will have to change now.
