Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I think I've mentioned here before that I'm in a graduate program in nutrition. Well, I have a project to work on that y'all can help me with if you feel like it. I am designing a 3 day menu for a family of four on a food stamp budget, which equals $55 for three days groceries. It's a more interesting challenge to assume this struggling family is also gluten-free-and will be more helpful for the population I'll probably work with as a nutritionist. In my hypothetical " family " the mom is pregnant, son is 15 and daughter is 7. I can't remember what I was willing/unwilling to cook when I was pregnant (because I only have a teenager these days). And I can't remember what 7 year olds eat or how much either. So the questions you can answer for me are: 1. What are the very inexpensive, highly nutritious meals you make that the whole family really likes? You don't have to give me recipes-I can probably figure that part out. I'll scan files etc as well, but the important part of the question is what your family loves. 2. What's the portion size for those meals for your 7ish year old, if you have one? 3. If you've been pregnant recently, do you remember any frequent restrictions on cooking, eating, shopping your pregnancy caused (can't cook breakfast because of the nausea.)
