The challenge is to keep her carb intake on the low side to keep her
blood sugars down. With what she listed, it would be difficult, but
not impossible to accomplish. But if the kid eats cheese sandwiches,
yogurt, apples & bananas, and baked beans you can still make her a
healthy meal. I'm just thinking that it's a very boring diet.
