I don't really worry about it yet because I figure she'll eat and then drink til she's full and that should be ok. But I guess we'll have to wait and see at her 9 month pedi visit because I feel like she hasn't been eating/drinking enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-calories-of-solids-do-you-estimate-your-lo-gets-per-meal#post-810680 Mon, 27 May 2013 01:07:48 +0000 pinkcupcake 810680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is something I was wondering about too! My LO is 15 months old and isn't the biggest eater. We try to do 3 meals + 2 snacks throughout the day. I think each meal can range anywhere from approx 80 - 150 calories. Snacks are probably like 50cal ? She doesn't like milk and will only nurse in between meals. It doesn't seem like she eats enough, but she's still tracking along on her curve so I'm trying not to worry... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-calories-of-solids-do-you-estimate-your-lo-gets-per-meal#post-803662 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:15:12 +0000 cranberryapple 803662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is your LO and how many calories do you estimate they take in per meal? I'm not obsessive about calories or anything but I sometimes take a general survey of the food I'm feeding him, and I'm thinking he gets at most 100 calories, which doesn't seem like that much to me. DS is 10 months and still breastfeeds the same amount. Just wondering if he's getting enough. We're only feeding him two solid meals a day, and I let him tell me when he's had enough...at least I think so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-track-their-calories-using-an-iphone-app#post-42531 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 12:07:15 +0000 prettylizy 42531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has been using this app and according to him it's been his secret to success. In 3ish months he's down 25lbs!</p> <p>@mrbee: you can build your own recipes/add your own things. We'll make oatmeal with whatever fruit we have in the house for breakfast and DH will just keep track of quantities and the app adds them up for you. For instance, if you have 1/3 cup oatmeal, you can add the calories for that, plust 1/4c strawberries and 1/4 c skim milk. Most items have the calories on the package, and if it's not on the package, DH just 'looks it up' through the app. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-track-their-calories-using-an-iphone-app#post-42525 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 12:01:51 +0000 chopsuey 42525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like counting calories.. :P Although.. sometimes I'll do a estimate/count in my head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-track-their-calories-using-an-iphone-app#post-42510 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:51:05 +0000 venice4504 42510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The app I am using has one of the largest catalogs of food I've seen! It even has a lot of restaurant chain food. I have coffee with 2% milk every morning and I end up just going (coffee, 2 servings...then next line item is milk, one cup). You have to break things out sometimes. You can even upload recipes that you make at home and it will portion it out for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-track-their-calories-using-an-iphone-app#post-42490 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:29:28 +0000 mrbee 42490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have considered this! But how do you classify things that aren't in the app... like I have Oatmeal with skim milk and strawberries every morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-track-their-calories-using-an-iphone-app#post-42484 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 11:21:49 +0000 venice4504 42484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've started tracking my own calories using the "My Fitness Pal" app on my phone. Anyone else use it? </p>
