It's a pretty spartan diet. He eats 3-5 bananas a day. I know that's probably

way too many.

Hi Penny,

As long as he is eating enough banana and pineapple juice, it

doesn't matter so much if he eats lots of chicken. Just make sure

he is getting enough carbs.

How many bananas per day? I forget. ate 3 per day for the

first several months!

How much is " enough " carbs?

eats the following every day: two eggs, a bananna, a pork chop,

about 1/2 cup pear sauce, 3 to 4 chicken thighs, a cashew butter muffin, and

about a dozen meringues. That and pineapple juice watered down 75%. He

still has a huge appetite even though it has been about a month since we

restarted with the intro.

About how many carbs would that be? How many should he be getting per day?

What are the ramifications of not enough carbs?

I am going slowly adding new foods since we got into so much trouble last

time.

Any thoughts?

There is a great website for figuring how many calories, carbs,

protein and fat a person is consuming. It's called FitDay.com.

It's free and it's really easy to use.

You could enter what he eats and it will calculate everything for

you.

Now, with something like meringues, you can make a " custom

food " and enter the ingredients in the recipe and then say how

much is a portion and then it will do the calculations.

So, if you enter all the meringue ingredients and generally it

makes 30 meringues and he eats 6 a day, then he would be

eating .20 (1/5) of the total recipe.
