10.What do you feel affects your child?s food choices? (E.g. family eating habits, food advertising, other family/friends, etc?) Our DD eats what we eat so I guess she is limited by the kinds of foods we eat regularly. She is pretty adventurous with her eating (one of her favourite foods is black olives and feta from a greek salad) so she tries lots of different foods when she has the opportunity.
11. Does your child help choose foods for them to eat daily and/or do you cook with your child? She sits at the kitchen bench while I cook and choses her own foods but I pretty much give her the same snacks every day and so she just asks for what she is used to.
We follow an eating plan that is pretty much the same from day to day
Breakfast - a piece of multigrain bread with vegemite, a small bowl of wheat pillow cereal and a piece of fruit
Morning Tea - one slice of cheese, a piece of fruit and a cruskit (or other wholegrain biscuit) with cottage cheese or vegemite (DD choses what she likes)
Lunch - 1 serve of carbohydrate (rice, pasta, potato, pumpkin) with 2 serves of vegetables and a small serve of protein for example - Brown lentil and bean curry with brown rice or bean and pasta salad dressed with lemon juice, glass of milk
Afternoon tea - 100g serve of yogurt, a piece of fruit and crumpet or fruit toast slice
Dinner - 1 serve carbohydrate only, 3 serves of vegetables (low gi ones) and one serve of protein
