Re: Need recipie ideas for a 2 1/2 year old boy. He is on the thin side.
My 2 year old eats what we eat, If he doesn't like it then basically too bad. He is a good eater tho.
Get on to google and google recipes for something like apple muffins, these are a good morning or afternoon snack. Saltunas and lots of fruit. are also good.
Lunch time I usually give a sandwich, ham and cheese, or small tin of good tuna and toast. Always fruit or maybe yoghurt for afters.
Dinner is usually what we have whether is be curry and rice, or chops and 3 vegies. or spagetti
As long as it is healthy, low in sugar and kilojuies (sp) and also lots of water rather than juices and fizzy drinks then he should be fine. If he is hungry then give some thing healthy to eat but not right b4 a main meal, or he may not eat that. With my 2 year old I usually have a 1.5 - 2hrs gap between meals other wise I know he wont be hungry to eat a main meal.
May be try a slighty bigger meal as to what you are giving him. He is a growing boy after all.
Hope this helps
