Has a toddler ever offered you unhealthy food while you were trying to stay away from it or couldn't fit it into your cals for the day?

Yes. I don't call it "unhealthy" food but maybe not something I had planned on fitting in the day. Sometimes I take and throw it away, sometimes I take a bite, sometimes I eat it all and log it.0

I use to work in early childhood music, so the very little ones. Now I work with elementary school kids. I have had them bring me a mcdonalds hasbrown and cheap cookies from the bodega across the street. Someone brought me a banana once but I'm actually less likely to eat a banana over a cookie. Calorie dense for not much.2 -

Take it, be grateful and throw that *kitten* away. Any idea how dirty those hands are?9

No. I do not have a restricted diet other than calories nor do I hang out with toddlers these days.
I think dd offered me creations with combos like mayo, jelly and bread occasionally when she was young. Not a health risk but gross so I certainly wouldn't eat a lot.3 -
Absolutely, I have 4 kids lol. Sometimes I eat the food I am offered... there's never a time when eating a cheez-it that my toddler offered me is going to ruin my deficit for the day. But sometimes I say "no thanks, I'm not hungry right now". I feel like that's good modeling to know that it's ok to say no and to feel full.12

I should have. I am constantly sick. Sick right now even. The kids I teach aren't taken care of very well though. Some live in homeless shelters0 -
I eat baby cookies right out of my 1 year olds hands. She thinks it's hilarious. She loves feeding her mama. They are only 20 calories each.6

My immediate thought was "unhealthy "="germ-y" in OP because... toddlers. But seriously, so sorry you are sick, bbell. And sorry for the kiddos, too. Learning is hard work under the best circumstances, e.g. with enough sleep. It's tough getting adequate sleep when you don't have a regular place to do it. ( Maslow's hierarchy and all. Hope you feel better soon! :flowerforyou:0 -

Aw thanks...it's been a rough year. Lots of tears, lots of behavior issues to deal with, and constantly sick. Hence the weight gain too...muah0 -
My 1.5 year old son loves to shove goldfish in my face. He will throw a temper tantrum if I don't eat the goldfish.
I eat the goldfish.8 -
Lil two year old cousin forcefully commands me to get up and eat breakfast, then proceeds to eat half of my breakfast.2
