What can i give instead of meat

as he just won't eat meat we give it to him on the plate he'll eat the veg or what less is on the plate but not the meat. he sucks the juices off the mince when we have it and spits the meat out. he's the same with quorn. i give him lots of veg and pulses beans and eggs but i feel he's just not getting enough protine as he fallen off the bottom of his chart now from the 50th

if any one has any ideas that would be great thank you

If you are giving regular beans, lentils, pulses, etc. then he's probably getting plenty. Quinoa is a good source that is easy to hide in other things.
Tbh I think there's so much hype on high protein diets that we probably eat too much, rather than too little. I know when I checked my protein intake a while ago, thinking I wasn't getting nearly enough, as a vegetarian, I got a shock - I was eating way over the amount I should have been and not enough carbs.

He will be just fine on what he is getting already, Gracie isn't a big meat eater at all (she detests mince) but it is a texture thing, the other 2 were the same when they were wee and they are perfectly healthy, they eat more meant now as they are older x

He doesn't need meat in his diet - even vegans get plenty protein in their diet. Lots of cultures don't offer meat until children are 7 or older. It's actually very common for young children not to like the taste or texture of meat.

Ladybird - the "hype" is not about a high protein diet, but about a higher protein and lower carb ratio than currently recommend by the government. The GDAs were set at a time when most people had very active manual jobs and needed more carbs, now most people have office related jobs and this level of carbs is causing diabetes and other health problems.

Caden is 6 and doesn't eat meat, never has and he's fine - like others have said, if he's getting a good diet it isn't a huge problem x

Rhys has only really bothered with meat at all in the last year, so since about 2.5y, before that he'd suck and chew at any meat on his plate, get the goodness out of it and then just spit it out. We'd try to discourage the spitting, but other than that just let him work away, he'd eat the rest of his dinner no problem, but at a young age meat was just too much work for him. I agree with some of the others, IMO there's no need to be supplementing or trying to fool him into eating it or anything.

In the last 3 or 4 months Rhys has become a complete meat monster, he'll eat the meat in his dinner first now, then ask for more and only have a few fork fulls of veggies. . Keep offering and there's a good chance Ryan will just start eating it one day.

thank you for the reasurance it just that he's not gaining weight now and fallen off the chart was out with my mum for lunch and he eat her sausage so that good. i think it the chewing but he also gages on all meat so i don't know if thats normal either but he's always done that

Lacey Sandy will eat some meat but he doesnt like chewing it (or anything else for that matter). He is very lazy with his food its like he cant be bothered, i think i will be spoon feeding him until he is 20 at this rate. Just wanted to let you know you are not alone

Molly isn't fussed on meant either, she'll hardly eat it, unless of course its a sausage she's a carb lover, but eggs also have plenty of protein and she eats a couple of those a week. Baked beans too!
