Tam my best suggestion to you is teach yourself nutrition and learn the healthy protein/carb/fat ratios that work best with your body type. While there are some healthy suggestions in this thread I think you'd have much better luck speaking with a nutritionist about you and your daughters dietary needs directly. Thats how I learned most if not all my nutrition and it was the best money ive ever spent.
