What are your kids favorite "D" foods?
We love the Tropicana low carb orange juice someone mentioned here. :D
Also found Dannon Light & Fit carb & sugar control yogurt. 3g carbs/4 oz.cup
This was a life saver for us since my dd's fav snack was yogurt (- never realized how much SUGAR they added. :eek:)

Dannon's drinkable carb control is great also. I think it's 4 carbs.

It's so frustrating for us because my son is allergic to milk (so no low carb yogurt or cheese) and I hate giving him hot dogs and sandwich meat, and artificial sweetners in sugar free jello and diet drinks. But to say he couldn't eat anything "free" because of the health factor was just plain mean. So those were his favorites (this is all pre-pump. Post-pump I don't even pay attention anymore)

My son love slim jims and string cheese. He would also eat a salad as a snack. Just this week he asked me to start sending a salad in his lunch. We have also found a chocolate milk that has only 5 carbs a serving. I think it is called calorie countdown. He loves it.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, tuna salad, small salads with italian dressing, eggs, very small hamburger (leanmeat), slim jims, string cheese, some lunch meat picky on most of them, hates jello.

This is a great thread! Our son is an extremely picky 2 year old so I am always looking for ideas of low carb food that he 'might' eat! :)
I'm going to look for some of the low carb yogurt...that sounds great. For us, it's hot dogs...and he used to eat deli ham for free foods. Also he LOVES crystal light lemonade to drink that's also free, he calls it "Baby juice" :)

Nolan loves slim jims.
I am not wild about them, because it is important to watch fat too.
Our favorite is
water... (lol yummy snack)
winkys, (sugar free jellos)
and lite cool whip, which is one carb for a spoonful.
Other than that, fresh fruit is always good, low carb, (per ounce) and full of vitamins.
Apples are a good snack, apples cooked with cinnamon, or raw with Pnut butter, or just plain!:eek:
pears, strawberries are good with splenda when they just want to munch.
