Funny-Ronan loves meat and Declan loves carbs.

Re: whats your toddlers car and protein in take (POLL)

Ryan is all meat. Pork chops, steak, chicken - all meat and hard to get veggies in him (although last night we found he likes cauliflower!)

Colin is a combo but he's def. more carb - LOVES his pasta.

Re: whats your toddlers car and protein in take (POLL)

Um yea carbs. Pasta, bread and more pasta! Although she did eat roasted chicken last night and asked for more when she finished... I could hardly contain myself!

Re: whats your toddlers car and protein in take (POLL)

Definitely carbs. She has weeks where she will not touch meat!

carbs

DS is a meat eater. He loves his carbs a lot but he will eat an entire chicken breast (breast not cutlet) or half a steak at dinner! Loves his protiens.

Fruits and Veggies are a different story ---- very limited IMO (fruits: banana, strawberry, cantelope, oranges, apples sauce--- veggies: broccoli, carrots, corn)

Re: whats your toddlers carb and protein in take (POLL)

they eat mostly fruit, yogurt, veggies and whole grain carbs. i offer meat, but they don't eat too much of it. especially my older dd--she spits it out. they also eat some tofu and some fake meats (they really like chik'n nuggets). i'm not a huge protein eater myself. i could never ever been an atkins-type person

Re: whats your toddlers carb and protein in take (POLL)

Mostly carbs, but he loves turkey and chicken. We give him a fruit and veggie juice combo (Adam and Eve) because he will almost never eat veggies.

Re: whats your toddlers carb and protein in take (POLL)

My son is basically on an all carb/fruit diet. makes me nuts. The only meat he will eat is bacon! So bizarre.

Re: whats your toddlers carb and protein in take (POLL)

He eats mostly carbs, but he gets protein for lunch and dinner every day.

He definitely eats more pasta and potatoes than meat or chicken.

Re: whats your toddlers carb and protein in take (POLL)

good to know that my toddler is not the only big carb eater. at this point she may turn into pasta or a french fry lol

Re: whats your toddlers carb and protein in take (POLL)

pasta, pasta and more pasta, but my DD also loves her chicken and meatloaf. I guess it depends on the day. She usually gets 1 carb meal and 1 meat meal. Breakfast is a mix.

Re: whats your toddlers carb and protein in take (POLL)

Without a doubt carbs. Today Rylan had

Breakfast- English muffin

Lunch- waffles

Dinner- plain pasta

Re: whats your toddlers carb and protein in take (POLL)

carbs and fruit. cannot get a vegetable in this child at all. She will eat a meatball on occasion. and last night she ate some chicken but then when I offered it for lunch today, she refused. feeding toddlers is very annoying!

Re: whats your toddlers carb and protein in take (POLL)

protein - she'll eat eggs every meal if she could. She also lives on cheese and turkey (cold cuts and meatballs).

Re: whats your toddlers carb and protein in take (POLL)

Oldest DD (almost 4 years) looooves carbs. But she also likes meat too. She never asks for meat, but she eats what we give her-- beef, turkey, chicken, meatballs, anything really.

But her favorite thing, what she asks for most, is some type of carb-- crackers, she loves waffles, pancakes, flatbreads, etc.

Re: whats your toddlers carb and protein in take (POLL)

carbs we try to sneak some chicken in with the carbs

Re: whats your toddlers carb and protein in take (POLL)

DS is 1, but on all table food. And while I think he prefers carbs, I don't offer him carbs as a main meal, only as a treat after he's had his protein. I will try any protein I have before I give into a carb, and then it will only ever be a whole grain of some sort.

Re: whats your toddlers carb and protein in take (POLL)

Sienna is a protein girl. She loves chicken, meat, cheese, yogurt, etc. Those are always the first to leave her tray. She works on the carbs and veggies next.

Re: whats your toddlers carb and protein in take (POLL)

He actually loves both equally.however, If the carb is rice he will eat the veggies. If its MAC and cheese I have to force him to eat the veggies. Weird. Pasta I always mix everything together so he goes to town literally. He will only eat bread if it has something on it. Butter, cream cheese, jelly just like his momma.
