Deli man said it's their top seller. I believe it. But eating over a pound as a snack before bed is a bit much.

Not for a teenage boy who is probably not being fed enough.

DS is a senior and plays 2 sports. He eats a tremendous amount of food. He is tall and fairly thin but when switching sports and trying to bulk up more he shouts for 8-10,000 calories a day.

Shame around food causes disordered eating. Get your son involved in helping cook food he enjoys. It's cheaper, healthier and he will learn an adult skill.

I am an average sized middle woman with no eating disorders, and even I find the comments about gluttony triggering.

My mom used to buy my brother pound containers of deli rice pudding when he was a hs athlete and he would eat them before dinner. Those kids are hungry. My own kids are distance runners and I’m always trying to get them to eat more. They know they can eat anything in the house and if they let me know it’s gone, I will get more.

hahahahahaha i mean sure, but it's going to come back normal.

Almond moms pathologizing normal teen boy appetite.

This thread is bonkers. It did just inspire me to buy a lot more snack food than I normally do on my grocery run and my teen boy (who is off from school today) said it was like Christmas morning while helping me unpack.

We do know that the majority of 13 year old boys do not need to eat more than 3500 calories per day. Did you know that?

It was a bit thoughtless, but it's his house too. As a growing teen, he probably needs the calories. You're an idiot, btw.

Welcome to having teen boys. Mine seem to eat all the food in the house every night between dinner and breakfast. It’s crazy but you get used to it. It is a huge relief when they go to college.

I don’t buy expensive “special” foods unless I’m serving them at dinner or eating them right away. Still, we spend several thousand a month on groceries.

Did you know that's an average? We also don't know anything about this particular 13 yr old boy, do we?
