As I posted before Gage's blood sugar (BS) is an issue. I run into "If you don't eat your apples then you aren't getting anything else" Then Gage decides ok, I don't want anything else. Which definately doesn't help his BS issues!!

Can you all give me some ideas for snacks?

We do Goldfish, popcorn, crackers with peanut butter, pudding ( I don't like doing very often)

Sometimes he doesn't eat snack at all.

Gage doesn't like Grapes or apples or cheese sticks. Pretty much Gage is my picky eater, if it is a carb he will eat it, if it isn't he won't. Sounds like someone I know (His mom )

Carson's snacks consist of:

Apple sauce, Jello, fruit cups, Yogurt balls, Teddygrahms, Goldfish crackers, Cheeze-its, Yogurt granola bar thingy's (sorry, forgot the name ), regular soft granola bars too, natural chips, honey roasted peanuts, flavored rice cakes - the small ones, squeeze yogurts that he can hold, and Carson loves fruit of any kind so he gets that the most.

We are big fruit and veggie eaters too. Mike always asks for an apple with peanut butter on it. I offer a cookie, he askes for grapes....

We do cucumbers, green peppers, apples, rice cakes, frosted shredded wheats, crackers and ham(sometimes lunchables) popcorn, and strawberries. If I can hide the blueberries, he won't eat them, but if he sees them, he will eat the whole container at one sitting, and then ask for more....

it's not fun picking whole blueberries out of underware poop.....

I think our snacks are mostly what has already been said...

Applesauce, yogurt, goldfish, graham crackers, raisins, bananas, apples, crasins, peas

I keep healthier snacks out where he can see them that helps some. Also when he wants something not as good like a cookie I give him something healthy with it as well. Sometimes he eats and sometimes not but I figure he's at least being exposed to it. I also heard a dietitian talk about making it a game, pretending they are giraffes or dinos and eating spinach like leaves out of tree, stuff like that. Goofy but works. She also pointed out that if you have to dip veggies or fruit in ranch or cheese or whatever oh well, at least they are getting the good stuff with a little bit of bad.

I think that is where I have a hard time, He won't eat raisins or anything that was from a fruit. So I get stuck giving him crackers. THough he is probably doing that on purpose.


I sliced an apple today told him when he ate that he could have something else. He chose not to eat b/c he didn't want the apple. I only gave him 3 off the 16 or so slices. SO then about 1/2 hour later I gave him a cheese stick b/c I needed him to eat something.

He is so difficult.

When they are hungry they will eat. Keep offering him healthy food. How about the peanut idea? Can he eat them? Those are actually pretty good health wise and carb wise. Or apples dipped in peanut butter. Or apples dipped in caramel. I know the caramels horrible for the carbs, but if it gets the apple into him it might balance out. (Go with the regular caramel dips, not the low fat ones, fat helps slow the absorption of carbs.) How about beef sticks? (I know smoked meat is horrible in other ways.) Sandwich meat?

The big thing is you don't want to make food a reward / punishment issue. Talk to him about what he likes. Can you go grocery shopping with just him some day and let him point out things he thinks he would like? Maybe talk about how food can help him feel better and have more fun when he's not hungry.

Have him help you make snack food. Kids ussually are more likely to eat some thing they helped make.

The other thing is try to offer everyone the same food. If Gage can have X but Baily get's Y - that's not going to go over well. Or if the kids get X and you have Y - you know darn well they will want what you have. LOL Though you are probably already doing this.
