My brother played varsity football, lacrosse, and hockey. He ate bigger portions than me but there was no need for extra high fat, extra carbs before dinner. I don’t know when high school sports became almost like pro sports with all these special needs. It’s pretty new though. Distance runners can just eat larger portions.

That is what he did he ate a larger portion of a food that his family eats.

Lasagna poster from a couple days back, I said I was inspired to make it from this thread. Just reporting it’s all GONE. They ate the leftovers sometime in the night or as an afterschool snack. Typical teens.

Stop feeding the troll.

Mmm, lasagna sounds fab and it makes amazing leftovers.

We buy two containers of this specific pasta salad each WF shopping trip. It's lasts about 4-6 days because the rest of us just take a little bit as a side item for lunch or maybe a snack. It seems at the very least uncivilized to hoover an entire container. Even if he's hungry, it's overboard, right?

You seem like you're desperate for this to be a problem, but it's a normal amount for a teenage boy to eat.

Right!

Your son is normal. Feed him more food. Tve diet of an adult woman is way different from a teen boy. They eat a lot of food because they are growing.

Stop passing on your food issues.

My nephews would inhale that and more. Feed your son!

My mid-50s year old husband hovers food. You have to be very specific - I want you to save some of this for the rest of us. Better yet, portion out some for you or for him.

Teen girls don't eat like this either. Neither does my middle aged husband. OP's son should learn how to cook and prepare food if he needs to eat that much. Eating expensive prepared food that is for everyone is not okay.

That's great for your brother, but I'm sure you recognize that not everyone is the same? Was he trying to bulk up? I'm guessing not, or he would likely have been eating a lot more than just slightly bigger portions.

That’s my point , not everyone is the same and kids don’t need a ton of food because they are “sporty”.

Gluttony. And allowing or encouraging gluttony does not make it less gluttonous.

You could not have me pegged more incorrectly.

I'm an old-school, southern-cooking mom who believes in proper manners. It was probably an almond/whole foods mom that served such a wimpy dinner the poor kid needed to gorge after.

Not at all. My teen daughters and 45 year old husband eat normal portions.

Some do. Some don't.

OP never responded to repeated questions about her son's size, growth rate, or athletic activities. Mutliple posters clearly have boys who do need a lot.
