I have a 2 1/2 year old at home. I noticed the other day when we went to the beach his phyisce has really changed over the past 6 months.
Now before you say "WTF he's 2 1/2 it'll change as he gets older" His dipear or clothes size hasn't changed much in the past 6 months. He has gained about 4lbs. since his winter check up. He weighs about 42lbs. Im about 5'9" and he comes up to just under waist line. Hes a big boy, people comment about how big his legs are all the time. Every day we go outside and play for about 1-2hr before he needs to go down for a nap (makes nap time a h e l l of a lot easier)
As i was looking at him thinking what the heck made him change so much, he's 2 he doesnt lift. Then it hit me. I've been home way more since ball and school have been over. Almost every meal he eats with me during the day then when i leave for work moms home and makes a wholesome dinner.
In the morning he usually eats 2 whole eggs, 1 packet oatmeal and some OJ diluted in water, or My protein pancakes I make
For lunch im eating chicken and rice or somthing of that nature and he always wants some of what Im having so i'll give him about an 1/8 cup with about 2 oz chicken. He'll eat that ontop of usually a PB&J and some apple seauce or somthing to that nature. If I eat a can of tuna he'll want some so i'll give him a few ounces, or if it be a shake he wants one too (he loves my banana protein w/ a lil banana in it). Infact the other night we went to the frigde cause he said he was hungry and of everything he dug for a can of tuna and ate the whole thing. Last weekend the wife said to me jokingly "why does he always say he's hungry, do you deprive him of food" He eats with my every 2hr or so
Now he stil eats kid food fruit snakcs, mac & cheese, and occasionly McDonalds but not that much. He doesnt really want it he'd much rather have fruit or veggies and what not.
I dont force my eating ways on him at all, I mean hes 2. Theres a good amount of things that he'll want so I give him some and he doesnt like it at all.
Do you think this could have any neg. sides to him eating like this, this young? Maybe burn out or somthing? I'd honestly have to say he gets about a 30/50/20 split of low GI, lean meats, somewhat healthy fats a day.
I mean im happy he's makeing healthy choices , but do you guys think its good hes eating like this.
