Shared Eating Challenge

Our daughter and I share one similar health challenge:  eating enough food to gain weight.   Our daughter is in the 5 percentile for weight and height.  She has always been a selective health eater and she gets full fast.  I am also a very healthy eater now that I'm on the Esselstyn diet, which is a plant based, low fat diet.  I find that I need to eat a lot and often to maintain or increase my weight.

For my daughter, we are trying to get her to a little more meat, which is a calorie dense food.  For me, I'm trying to eat more grain based foods, which is also more calorie dense.   However, I have to be cautious and continue eat enough vegetables and fruit, since it's easy to over indulges on breads and cracker.
