Skinny mini
Filed in archive Health by Michelle Donahue Hillison on May 18, 2008
My daughter is skinny enough now that I'm wondering about protein shakes.

The kid is still eating but she has just grown a lot and gotten some seriously long legs. We eat healthy and she's a great eater of fruits and veggies. Skim milk, low fat soy milk, low-fat pudding, 2% cheeses, fruits and veggies, 100 calorie packs of snacks, etc are all a regular part of her diet.

Today she had a doughnut and strawberries for breakfast - we've been adding doughnuts and croissants to up her calories. For lunch, cheese quesadilla with sour cream and half a cookie. So it isn't like the child isn't eating at all. She's just growing and has a super fast metabolism.

So I'm considering something like whey protein for her, she's 10 now I don't know if pediasure would have much of a benefit. Anyone have any experience with this? Tips or suggestions? I've been told to make sure the iron content is low because that can make children ill if they have too high a level. Should I even be considering this?
