Try not to think of the food diary, or Alex's progress, as something you're going to be judged by. The diary is simply a tool to help you work with the doctor to improve Alex's diet. If it even needs to be improved - you said yourself you have no idea how much she weighs.
However, if she's anemic, that needs to be addressed. It's not about blame. Everyone knows that it's impossible to make a toddler eat anything they don't want to eat.
However, there are ways to sneak extra calories into food - my friend devilduck has preemie twins, so I'm sure she can offer lots of that sort of advice should you need it.
