Apparently since that’s what’s being served on “Thanksgiving weekend”. Donuts are what kids are served all the time. It’s hardly a special Thanksgiving weekend food. |

My 17yo son is 5'11 and 130 lbs. He runs track and cross country. He is in no way overweight.
He would eat 3 plain glazed donuts before hopping in a long car ride, and might grab a fourth for the road. |

Is he the one the girl he asked out called unwell looking? |
My athlete son wouldn’t want any donuts. |

i would say 2 dozen. teenagers can put away the food. even athletes are likely not going to turn down donuts.
you all are insufferable. |
| This thread got mean. Two dozen donuts. Would be nice if there were other options like bananas or yogurt. |
Yes, you speak for all teen athletes. |

Wow. I'm out of touch. 12 sounds like quite enough, and I have a young adult son who eats a lot... but he's not going to eat more than one doughnut. He'd rather have protein. My teen daughter would eat half, as would my husband and I. |
| Donuts are a treat in my family. My young, skinny grandkids can eat 2 each. I would get 2 dozen and have some bananas and yogurt available. The glazed donuts reheat really well in the microwave. Yum! |
And this is why we're Ozempic Nation. |
It’s donuts….thats it, no protein. Put your pedestal away. |
You may not buy them often but people bring them to sports games as snacks, birthday parties, sleep overs, kids get a lot of donuts whether you give them as a treat or not. I can’t tell you how many of my kids early sports games began or ended with donuts. |
Not all teen athletes, of course not. Teen athletes are individuals. But if you're feeding a group and you don't know their individual athletes, then you over estimate rather than underestimate. It's also not clear whether there will be other food there, and whether they are going someplace where there will be another breakfast. Also, are they coming from their home, or a hotel? My kids would probably have eaten some protein already, if they were coming from home, because they wake up starving. Other kids are different. |
Almond mom and family have arrived. |
