More lunch ideas to pack
Margaret is doing a ballet summer intensive. Her schedule is basically 10:30am-4:30pm
30 minute conditioning class 1.5 hr ballet class 45 lunch 1 hour class (this week rotates between hip hop\ pre Pointe 45 academic based class (varies) today they studied swan lake 15minute break 1 hour ballet Today I packed her a sunbutter/jam sandwich, cucumber slices, blueberries, a snack bag sized trail mix with granola, banana chips almonds and raisins and a Lara had plus her water bottle.. It was more food than she typically eats and was assuming she'd have extra for like snack time of car ride home.. Nope she ate every bite and said she needed more food. School has no restrictions they just ask for a light lunch.. Which doesn't mean low calorie but nothing too heavy..for obvious reasons. She can't do gluten or dairy and we try to reasonably stay peanut free...So suggestions?

More protein/healthy fats? Help her stay full longer.
Can she do hummus or avocado/guacamole? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: More lunch ideas to pack
She doesn't like either unfortunately. I think your right with the protein fats but I'm unsure how.

That’s a very physically strenuous schedule for her to not be consuming more protein in my not expert opinion Carbs and sugars burn up so fast! Tuna, shredded chicken (I was going to say chicken salad but y’all are DF), beans, lunch meat— all things I’ve packed for my DD for lunch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: More lunch ideas to pack
String cheese would be good or cheese slices.
Scratch that- just re-read that no dairy! Sorry! What about non-dairy/soy yogurt? Maybe with granola or fruit mixed in?

It's like the ultimate picky eater cure though.. For dinner was had baked chicken with brown rice roasted zucchini and green beans.. Normally she'll eat maybe 1/3 a chicken thigh poke at s slice on zucchini eat a hand full of beans and move rice around her plate.. Today she ate 2 thighs and some of one of mine.. A decent sized scoop of rice went back for seconds on zucchini and thirds on the beans and then had some Apple slices with peanut butter for dessert.

Re: More lunch ideas to pack
I agree with upping the protein.
Meat sticks. Pieces of luncheon meat with gluten free crackers. a wide variety of nuts. My kids love a mixture of nuts and dairy free chocolate chips. You're staying peanut free, but do you do other nuts? Almonds? Cashews? Cashews are high in fat so we love those.

Re: More lunch ideas to pack
I'd check with the camp before sending anything with nuts. My kids' dance studio is nut-free, just like the schools. I sent them to one camp a couple of years ago and unless it had a nut-free designation on the label, the kids couldn't even open the package.
Meat sticks are much safer.

Re: More lunch ideas to pack
Does she eat a decent breakfast with protein? That should help.
(I am not a huge breakfast person, but I definitely have found that eating eggs for breakfast helps me not get hungry again so early) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've asked if she can eat during her small break and she says yes if they have something.. I might start purposely packing her a second small snack so she'll have have something to the her till dinner.

Re: More lunch ideas to pack
OH yes! I am glad you thought of hard boiled eggs for lunch. That's a great protein booster.

Re: More lunch ideas to pack
What about pasta salad? One Of my daughters plays softball, and we have found pasta salad is one thing she will eat well during long hot tournaments. I just do a quick Italian dressing over noodles and add in olives and mozzarella pearls. You could maybe adjust it for your daughter’s dietary needs by using gluten free noodles and omitting the cheese. Some noodles have added protein or you could add in mini pepperoni or even cubed chicken.
