Parents Need to Count Calories
Susannah Locketti is a working mother of two who is often sought out by other moms for nutrition advice. How, they want to know, can they make sure their kids eat healthy when life is so hectic that fast foods and pre-packaged meals seem to be the only options.
"Phase one of the plan consists of switching out every white flour product in the house with a whole grain alternative... I remember the first day my kids ate 'brown bread', as they called it. It was 100 percent whole wheat and they refused it for three days... They eventually caved and whole wheat bread is a staple in my school lunches."Parents can also switch to whole grain cereals, and replace chips and cookies with yogurt and string cheese.

My son is 10 years old. He plays baseball 5 days a week, walks at least 1 mile 4 days a week and sees a personal trainer two days a week.
I'm watching as much as I can what he eats, but he still hasn't lost any weight within the past two months. He actually gained 3 pounds.
Could something be wrong with him?
He 5'4" and weighs 133 lbs.
Any advice would be great.
