Today was a hard day to track and to get enough fibre in.  LM went to preschool and even though that is just two hours and one eating time, it is precious fibre time.  LM is not a big eater.  So if he eats a snack at preschool and is too full to come home and eat another snack containing extra fibre, then I'm kind of messed for the day.

He also didn't have a BM which worries me a little.  I am thinking that if he gets into the habit of going every day then he will learn faster that it doesn't hurt and that it isn't scary.  He did have a second BM last night after bedtime; perhaps I can count that for today's?

I did get to the grocery store and found a few packaged snacks.  I hate to buy prepackaged stuff, but it just is so much easier to see that fibre written out for me already and to know I can give LM one or two of these items and the fibre is there.  I got a few different things for him to try...so far his favourite is the Nutrigrain bar.  We used to always have these in our home, but fell away from that for some reason.  The kids LOVE them.  I guess they'll be back on our list permanently.  Each bar has 2g of fibre.  It shouldn't be hard to get LM to eat two of those in one sitting.

Today he also gobbled up strawberries, baby carrots and grape tomatoes, choosing them over pancakes at lunch and over chicken at dinner.

I am afraid that in doing this our meal balance is going to be thrown out the window and we'll be lacking in other things.  I hope that when the focus on fibre becomes more natural, the other stuff will come back.
