K.D.
A lot of the problem is your daughter is 22 mos. Our 21 mo. old doesn't eat unprocessed meats, either, and is somewhat unpredictable as to when and how much he eats. It sounds to me like your daughter is doing well. Remember, the processed meats are much easier to chew, and they're not very good at that yet. Our ds just got his 2 yr molars last month, and that's pretty early. I know others who haven't gotten them until almost 3. As far as weight gain, our son drinks lots of whole milk. You can also add Carnation Instant Breakfast to it for added calories. We find our son eats significantly less if using the CIB, but gains a lot of weight. He also will eat a lot of jello when he's sick, which keeps him from losing weight, so I figure it probably helps him gain when he's healthy. Hope maybe this helps! We, too, struggle with the weight thing. I hope you daughter gains some soon!
