Fyi I was thinking treats to put in his stocking off Santa. Xxxx
 
We tend to do big meals and pudding for lunch and dinner so that cuts down on snacking but otherwise any snack like a packet of crisps that’s around 10g carbs, or a couple of crackers cheese (or other protein), cooked meats, hard boiled eggs, Greek yogurt and berries, nuts & dried fruit, a cereal bar (around 10g of carbs). We basically try to keep snacks to a minimum but if they’re hungry they’re hungry. We aim for around 10g of carbs in a snack and to mix some protein in there not just carbs. Sweets are only usually with meals or exercise.

Christmas treats are eaten with a meal rather than on their own (although occasional sweets on their own will be fine).
