1 T honey - 9
1 T milk - 9
3 ritz crackers - 48
1 tortilla chip - 15
6 oz apple juice - 90
2 choc chip cookie - 230
1 1/2 c milk - 225
Total calories - 659
This is such a hard thing to balance. I just fussed at D b/c of the food choices she made today. I told her that I even though I have told her I am not going to fuss about the number of calories she consumes, I am going to say something when all that goes in is empty calories, that she needs to start making wise choices about the types of food she eats and focus less on the calories, that she needs to be putting nutritious things into her body. Everything I said could hugely backfire... if she continues restricting calories AND avoids useless foods she will eat even less. I think I just fell off the tightrope.
