Guest guest Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hello. More of a lurker here. I had a bit of a protein question. Ds7 is starting school for the first time in a week (he's been homeschooled). He is veg, not vegan, but we try to limit dairy. I want him to have a good dose of protein at lunch (something with a low glycemic index) since he is already high energy and going to have to do more sitting than usual. Here is where it get's complicated. He has a lot of soy in his diet already, so I don't want all soy. There is a boy in his class with severe peanut allergies, so I can't send him to school with peanut butter. He does not like nuts. The boy with the peanut allergy also has an egg allergy, but I may send some egg because it is not a life-threatening allergy, especially if he is not eating it. The peanuts he can't even have contact with, and my son would end up with peanut butter on his face, and likely crumbs on his shirt, etc ... Anyway. I did look at the vegan lunchbox website, but that is more soy than I want to do every day (he drinks a lot of soy milk and has other soy sources). I am just looking for some variety. He is a big eater (high energy, high metabolism). Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Cindy ______________________________\ ____ Need a quick answer?
