I would make sure she is taking a children's vitamin. That way she is getting what she needs. She will eat when she gets hungry. My children went threw this also, make sure she drinks a lot of liquids and just keep trying!

Have you spoke to her Dr. about this?
I have a similar problem with my 3 and a half year old son. Some weeks he'll eat really well while others he will refuse food all together. It's like an on off thing. His Dr. recommended for me to give him a Flintstones Complete Vitamin everyday. However, he would not eat them, so the Dr. prescribed a liquid vitamin that I could mix in with his drinks. Also recommended was a shake type drink named PediaSure for the days he refuses food. Ask your daughters Dr. about something like this - it works for my son.
