My picky child really needs to gainweight

[Guest guest]

Great idea Heather! I use whizzed silken tofu in place of eggs. This might be

a better idea for you as silken tofu has fat naturally. You might also try some

marinated tofu as snacks. Here's a website that gives ideas for egg replacers,

including the whizzed tofu.

Of course just about any food has fat in it so focusing on fat may not be the

best. You could try to get more carbs down her like fruits & whole grains.

Hmm...maybe a cold fruit and pasta (or other grain) salad? Maybe make the

dressing out of blended fruits. :}

 

Take care,

Tammy

hi shelly,

 

i have VERY picky kids too and the way i get a TON of good stuff,

including fat, in them is through MUFFINS!!!

 

i make the muffins with a couple of TBLS of oil and i add either wheat

germ or oats. i basically follow any muffin or bread recipe (i just

make them i nmuffin tins always since that form appeals to my kids) and

substitute soy milk for milk and egg replacer (either wonderslim liquid

or enerG powder made into liquid - i like enerG a bit better) for egg.

 

i also add zuchinni, carrot, banana and other fruits and veggies. i

have just done some searches for vegan recipes and then it is

easy to come up with some muffin recipes.

 

basically, the oil in it is great for the fat and everything else is

healthy and great for weight gain!

good luck!
