Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 My son started at 17 mos. Each chid is different, but in our case, he was also on 4:1 and we started him on 4 meals/day 850 cc fluid Per day 12 g protein (3 per meal) 9 grams carbs (2.2 per meal) 80 grams fat (21 per meal) Height was 81.3 cm, wt was 13.2 kg (he had recently gained 5lbs on depakote, was a touch heavy) I remember them saying something about keeping carbs under 3g per meal. I still do to this day, just about. He's been on the diet 6 years. For an inactive child, the calories seem a bit high...but maybe not. Your numbers are not too far off. Your protein might be a bit low, it's just at the 1g per kg of weight cut-off. Maybe raise protein a touch and lower carbs a touch?
