Instead of # of calories I think it is easier to mention a few foods that meet the need (like a serving of PB and a banana mentioned by Dr. Jelliffe) Parents can remember more easily if you say an extra serving of this or that per day. In US today overeating is more of a problem than undereating :-( Sincerely, Pat in SNJ *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
