Just wondering if there’s any particular kind? I have heard cottage cheese, ricotta, cream cheese, processed cheeses and hard cheeses like cheddar and parmesan are ok.. Triangular cheese spreads are appealing because they come with individual wrapping and so soft on little palatebut I am not sure if they are safe to give for the bub..? I just read somewhere that they are not pure cheese, but cheese with other additives. Also.. would I be able to find any cheese with low or no salt.?

Is there any particular kind of youghurt as well? What should I look for when I shop for dairy for her this evening.?

Pls also comment on your experience on introducing dairy to your bub. Any tip would count.
Thanks heaps

What to do? http://www.curdsnwhey.com/im-13-years-old-im-only-eating-a-small-amount-of-dinner-most-days-my-mums-getting-suspicious-what-to-do/ http://www.curdsnwhey.com/im-13-years-old-im-only-eating-a-small-amount-of-dinner-most-days-my-mums-getting-suspicious-what-to-do/#comments Tue, 17 Jan 2012 08:07:18 +0000 Cheese Man http://www.curdsnwhey.com/im-13-years-old-im-only-eating-a-small-amount-of-dinner-most-days-my-mums-getting-suspicious-what-to-do/ I’m 13 years old. I’m only eating a small amount of dinner most days. My mum’s getting suspicious. What to do?
I haven’t eaten anything today (but it’s only morning).
Yesterday I ate a half a sandwich with salad, and half a falafel wrap. On Friday I ate nothing.
Thursday, a bowl of lentil soup.
Wednesday, two spinach and ricotta cheese party pasties, but only the inside, not the pastry.
Tuesday was a vegetable stir fry, but I only ate two fork fulls of the rice.
Monday was the inside of a spinach pasty, again, none of the pastry.

My mum knows I’m not eating healthily, but she thinks on top of what I ate I also had a finger bun, a yogurt, and weet-bix for breakfast. I know I’m not eating healthily, but I want so much to lose weight. I feel so bad, and my mum’s so angry at me. And thinness is such a materialistic thing.

I’M NOT ANOREXIC. I’M NOT ANOREXIC. I’M NOT ANOREXIC. Kapeesh? :)

P.S. I’m not underweight, I used to be 84 pounds, but then I gained over the school holidays, and I’m 91 pounds now :(
I’m 5’5.

What should I do? My mum’s getting suspicious.

I ate 1/3 cup oats, 2/3 cup low fat milk, 1 banana, a tablespoon of light yoghurt (but it has a lot of sugar per serving O_O ), a finger of ricotta cheese, &three wafer thin crackers with hommus on each one =S A generous amount of hommus, maybe a teaspoon or something.

Also, have you any ideas for the rest of my meals?

I eat 1800 – 1900 a day… &I always have 600 for dinner and 200 for after dinner.

I also need foods that I can prepare big batches of in advance. I’m not worried about calories, but how is this nutritionally? Am I forgetting any ‘superfoods’ that I should include?

BREAKFAST:
Oats, no-fat yoghurt, blueberries & rasberries. Green tea.

SNACK:
Walnuts/almond mix, dried banana chips, fresh orange.

LUNCH:
2 x slices wholegrain bread, low-fat ricotta cheese, black-bean sandwich spread (black beans, olive oil, lime juice, minced red onion, garlic, chilli), baby spinach, tomato. Cranberry juice.

SNACK:
Dried fruit (raisins, figs, prunes, apricots), fresh cantaloupe.

DINNER:
Vegetarian chilli (onion, red lentils, green/yellow split peas, chickpeas, kidney beans, pinto beans, egg, capsicum, carrot, mushrooms, tomato, garlic, tofu, cumin, basil, oregano) served over brown rice with steamed broccoli, pumpkin & brussell sprouts. Red wine.

DESERT:
2 slices of dark chocolate.
Forgot to mention, I eat like this around 5 times a week with slight variations, depending on what fruit and vegetables I have on hand.

Yep, am vegetarian.

I believe the protein will be coming from nuts, yoghurt, cheese, beans, chickpeas, lentils, egg and tofu.

Could that not be enough?

I know that growth and development has a lot to do with your genetics but I wanted to know if there were any specific nutrients that promote growth (height) on their own? Or if you need to eat a specific combination of nutrients/vitamins to grow.

I also heard that growth was slightly influenced by your exercising habits. I walk a lot and cycle at home when im bored. Mainly cardio, sometimes weight training.

Today I’ve eaten ricotta cheese, asparagus, 2 tins of tuna and a mango. So far. Whats a snack that can promote growth that I can eat? I just finished cycling for about 15km and ate a tin of tuna afterwards…

I know that protein helps muscle growth and calcium makes bones stronger, but what makes you taller??? Please help!

Also what nutritional benefits are there from soy protein, whey protein and soy products, and where do they sell whey protein because ive never seen it =S

Your help is very much appreciated. <33
