All,

As we approach the day to acknowlege us, I don't take for granted what we do.

...May our children rise up and call us blessed... Proverbs 31

Agape,

PS- Suzanne, what you're doing sounds awesome... I wish I'd known to do that

when my son was younger.

My son is not on a low-protein diet, but he cannot eat fruits, nuts,

eggs, legumes or dairy, so his only foods are vegetables and meats.

In order to keep his diet from being too meat-heavy, he gets a lot

of his calories from oils and vegetables. It means that his meals

are large and frequent - 5 30-minute meals a day with large servings

of two or three vegetables. He simply has to eat a lot to get enough

calories this way.
