Body Build-er-rupper

I need to get some weigh on Alia. She hasn't really regained her weight she lost when she was sick at Xmas time & with winter coming up she needs FAT.

I struggle to get food into her at school & I need to give her something that is either a meal replacement or a good fat builder that I can add in to her day, say as arvo tea?

What have you found your kids liked?

Yeah was thinking complan, didn't think of adding fruit.

Need other options incase she doesn't like that, but the fruit might sway it.

will she eat avocado? Some avocado on crackers would be good - lots of good fats in that. Some kids love it, some not so much!

What about those milk cartons that you can have for breakfast? I can't remember what they are called. Oh wait a minute I remember, up and go. Not sure how much protein they have though you would have to have a look, but they might be good to pack with her lunch for her to have at school.

Nuts??
I have weight gain issues & it sux. Maybe a trip to the Doc just to make sure there are no underlying medical problems. Zinc defincey can cause lack of appetite. I would stay clear of artificial supplements & would possibly count her calouries over severals days so then you know weather she is getting enough or the opposite, getting enough but not absorbing it. Some high cal foods are: Nuts, pasta, dried fruits & high cal veg like peas, corn, potato & kumera also veg & fruit drinks. And the usual, having a healthy diet with food from the 5 food groups. Exersise also helps (as silly as it seems) as muscle is heavier than fat. it will help with weight gain & increase her appetitie
