Meerah And Food

 I've been thinking, (be nice) about Meerah's diet. Everyone here is on an "eat it or lose it" routine, but I do allow about 30 mins for them to complete the meals. Meerah leaves her breakfast every day and has done for months, her choice! She always eats her evening meal, (which of course is slightly bigger than it would be if she ate breakfast, but giving her double simply would not be safe, i.e - risk of torsion) and to be honest she's carrying just about enough weight, though I'd like a touch more on her. 
What bothers me is the hunger puke, most days at around 4 PM she vomits froth, we all know that is "empty belly syndrome," and nothing to worry about, but I don't like that it's happening either. I was thinking this morning, well maybe I could offer her the breakfast at lunchtime? But I don't think that is the answer, what if that affected her eating her evening meal? It's important that any change I make doesn't affect that. So, and I don't believe I'm saying this, I think I'll buy a box of pouches, or something, just so she has something to eat in the morning. Honestly, I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for the hunger puke, but as I've said before, sometimes rules have to be bent or broken!
