Thanks......

The closest thing to a fruit/vegetable that she eats is dipping plain pasta in tomato sauce....or chicken strips in ketchup....or the tomato sauce on pizza. No veggies. No fruit.

She never liked chicken strips - only hot dogs....but she did change. She started liking chicken nuggets from Wendy's. I knew that the fast food chicken nuggets were bad, so I started to transition her to store bought chicken nuggets....then the breast meat chicken strips....then now it's the whole grain baked chicken strips. I thought that was progress....

She does enjoy my banana muffins and zucchini bread - but of course, my neighbor told me that those things don't count. I use less sugar than the recipes call for and use a combination of whole wheat and all purpose flour.

My daughter is in the 90th percentile for her height and weight. She is not overweight. She enjoys riding her scooter and running around playing games outside. She is not a couch potato. She also takes a multivitamin every day.
