Real babies eat quiche…

So when I was leaving for work this morning, my mom asked me what Zyla should have for lunch. My mom, in case anyone was wondering, watches Zyla while I’m here writing, well this blog, for instance.
We didn’t have any leftovers or much in the fridge so I said just give her this frozen quiche from Trader Joe’s made with spinach and I think mushroom. If you remember
my post from last week, I’ve since gotten over the egg fear.
Anyway, when I showed her the box, I glanced at the nutritional value info and saw that this personal-sized egg treat had a whopping 460 calories. I thought s%^& that’s a lot of calories. So I said you know what mom, just give her half the quiche.
Well guess what? I just called to check on Zyla and she apparently likes quiche. Not only are 460 calories sitting in her belly right now, but she topped off her meal with one of those containers of applesauce. Unsweetened, thank God!!! So for lunch alone she probably consumed more than 500 calories.
I have no idea what the daily caloric intake for a 1-year-old should be. But I know that—in theory—I’m supposed to have 1,500 a day (or is that on a diet, I forget.) Either way, I’m thinking a 500-calorie lunch for a baby is excessive, no?








This week we had two entries.
