I would try mixing one ounce of boiled, boneless, skinless chicken breast with no seasonings, 88 grams (probably somewhere around 1/3 cup) carb (brown rice or sweet potato peeled and cooked or noodles), 60 grams (about 1/2 cup) cooked mixed veggies (peeled carrots or bell peppers or celery or squash) and 1 teaspoon oil (olive or canola). If he eats consistently and you want to do it long term, he NEEDS to be supplemented. I would probably give fruit as snacks. Maybe it will help the sugar issue (watermelon, peeled and cored apple, blueberries...). |
I will gather some things over the weekend (i do not have a lot of this stuff on hand in my house as I am on a very strick/limiting medical diet). I will try to cook something up, and give this a try. Unfortunately today he is not even touching the chicken. The evangers chicken casserol chicken dinner has all of these ingredients and it is pretty human grade, and he would only licky the gravy a bit. So I am doubtful
