I am certainly ont a nutritionist, but I will give you my advice anyways. Nine year olds are still children, and should beeating child-size portions still. My first advice would be CUT THE PORTIONS. If you want to see a normal size kids portion, to make it easy, take a look at a frozen meal like "Kids Cuisine". That is approximately the AMOUNT of food a child should eat in a meal. Secondly, try and cut out fast food. Its unhealthy, especially for children. Try different things out (not sure if this is the parent asking or 9 year old) but make the "dieting" fun; let the child go to the store with you and pick out a few things they want, from YOUR choices and those will be what they eat that week. Deli meats: turkey and low sodium ham (NO cheese). Buy snack packs to limit porion control on snacks (100 calorie acks are a great option). Switch to pretzels, animal crackers, sugar free Hot Chocolate, Italian ices, yogurts, jello etc. for snacks. WHEAT bread (fills them up longer), and NO peanut butter. I have alot more knowledge, not sure i fyou wanted tips or n actual diet plan, post a follow up if you want more specifics.
