That's almost 50% of the calories in the serving from fat. The other 100 calories are likely from carbohydrates. And there's probably some salt in there too - perfect for CFers.<br /><br />{{For us non-CFers, we're not *supposed* to eat anything that gets more than 30% of it's calories from fat}}<br /><br />Good luck.<br />Mom of a 21-month-old CFer.Victoria's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09044193692067937411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754054029583934406.post-35515134006649147902009-07-22T00:52:52.568-04:002009-07-22T00:52:52.568-04:00Dear M, I just wrote you the LONGGGGEST Comment!!...Dear M, I just wrote you the LONGGGGEST Comment!!:) But it was way too long, and they wouldn't let me send it. So I copied it over to a document and it was over a Whole Page LONG!! So, I'm going to try to email it to you. I hope you'll copy it over and post it to let people know how we're doing, and see if anyone has suggestions/comments about some stuff I mention. I enjoy checking up on your blog every chance I get.

I'm soooo glad Chris's cold is gone! Y...Hi! I'm soooo glad Chris's cold is gone! Yeah! :)<br />As far as counting 'calories'...we were taught by Zoe's nutritionist to do it this way: we read just the total fat grams. If she has 2 snack cakes that have a total fat grams of say 12, then she would have to take 2 Creon 10's. One Creon 10 covers 6 grams of fat. It really is the easiest, quickest way to figure out their enzymes. Obviously the more fat, calories, etc....the better! :) Zoe loves sweets, so I have to watch her on getting too much sweet stuff, so we go back and forth with her snacks, sweet and not sweet. A few really good sources of good fats are black/green olives, avocados, cheese sticks, nuts.<br />Good luck with the drinks....Zoe won't touch any of them either. :(<br />Take care,<br />JadaZoe Isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09400210769769511354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754054029583934406.post-77931850617387575712009-07-21T10:30:53.126-04:002009-07-21T10:30:53.126-04:00Hahaha...I had to laugh when you said (I don't...Hahaha...I had to laugh when you said (I don't intend to bake them into anything.) refering to the Reese's chips! LOL<br />The carnation instant breakfast mix has a recipe on there to add banana and make a banana milkshake...adds calories and it's healthy! <br />I hope you guys find something that helps. I know how frustrating it is with a non CF'er who doesn't want to eat, but it is so much more important for Lil Chris to get the calories into him!<br />Love you guys!<br />Hugs and kisses to lil Chris and Ayla!Auntie Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684278055302230651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754054029583934406.post-40522647897220170912009-07-21T01:10:35.787-04:002009-07-21T01:10:35.787-04:00I count cals all day longs!

Joshua's CF Docs say Cals from Fat are what your looking for. since Cfers have such a hard time taking in those fatty cals on there own. It's good to look at the whole label like your doing now because some things are healthier then others. Anything with peanuts though are pretty much golden!<br /><br />When Josh is in a funk and won't eat I sprink Scandical in his food. It's a powder made by the same people that make ultrase enzymes. Josh can nevr tast it even though he knows it's there. You should try it =0)Graciyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00704481136805627502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754054029583934406.post-40797923899083477262009-07-20T20:29:28.844-04:002009-07-20T20:29:28.844-04:00We have weight issues with Phoenix's brother R...We have weight issues with Phoenix's brother Ryker. We've found that 8oz of V8 splash is a full serving of fruits and vegetables, and it tastes great! You can get it in several different flavors. Also carnation instant breakfast, he loves it! You can even warm it up a little and it tastes like a warm hot chocolate. (Ryker hates the pediasure and stuff like that)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754054029583934406.post-45197853104518600702009-07-20T20:04:43.519-04:002009-07-20T20:04:43.519-04:00With regards to the Brownie Fudge Mix..."mix&...With regards to the Brownie Fudge Mix..."mix" just means that is the amount of calories just in the mix. Once you add the milk (if it requires some), eggs, etc., that will ADD more calories and fat to the total!<br /><br />And yes, with regards to the pudding, if you use whole milk, that will increase the calories and fat. Anytime you use a mix (even cereal), using whole milk and sometimes even 2%, depending on what the box says, will add extra fat and calories to it! <br /><br />As far as which food is the best...idk? They are all good sources of fat and calories! Of course all of us CFers eat more "junk food" because it contains the most fat and calories. But I would try to get him to eat more of the crackers, and not Chocolate or oreos all the time. But hey, whatever works, go for it =) We do need a little nutrition =)<br /><br />I'm not totally sure what Calories from Fat means, and no-one has ever explained that too me. However, you also need to be looking at FAT GRAMS (just total fat grams, not the "subdivisions" of fat grams). Fat grams are JUST as important for lil Chris (CFers) as the amount of calories!<br /><br />My mom used to have to bribe me to eat food. I kept a little notepad/journal one time with the amount of calories and fat I had for the day. And if I met the required amount, then I would get a "prize" over time! I know lil Chris is kind of young to do that...but just a thought if he is still having trouble when he gets older!<br /><br />The more you "make" him eat now, the better disciplined he will be at it when he gets older. If you let it "slide" or let him get away with not eating (all the time)...it's not a good outcome later in life (not saying you do, just giving you some of my experiences, because I HATED to eat.) He will make himself eat when he is own his own if he does more of that now!<br /><br />I hope some of these foods work and you can find a supplement drink that works. Have you tried the Carnation or the Scandishake and mix the scandishake with ice cream (just dilute the actual mix some though because it's really rich)Kateyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11628086713110351792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754054029583934406.post-17244841590825614972009-07-20T19:12:52.649-04:002009-07-20T19:12:52.649-04:00My mom would always buy Reese Peanut Butter Cups i...My mom would always buy Reese Peanut Butter Cups in bulk and I would eat those for snacks. High in fat and protein, both good for us CFers.<br /><br />You can also check out CFVoice.com.
