[quote=Anonymous]OMG- this is one of those things you hear from parents when your kids are younger but don't truly believe it until it happens. I'm talking about the sheer quantity of food my sons are eating. They're 13 and do swim team and will be running cross country in the fall when school starts so I know they need the food - they're in shape and very active - but I wanted to reach out to those who have been there done that for budgeting tips, snacks your kids like and are somewhat filling, etc. I took note of what they ate today (this is a pretty average day):

Breakfast before swim practice:
• Four eggs, scrambled
• Two pieces of toast on whole wheat bread with butter 
• Banana

After swim snack:
• Sliced pita pockets + hummus

Lunch:
• Two grilled chicken sandwiches (each was 3oz + a bun) 
• Dish of baby carrots
• handful of sugar snap peas
• Glass of chocolate milk
• Sliced strawberries

Afternoon snack:
• Smoked salmon with crackers

Dinner:
• 3 burrito sized tortillas filled with hamburger meat, lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream
• Steamed broccoli and cauliflower mix
• Fruit salad

After dinner:
• Half a bag of turkey sticks

Is this normal?! Thoughts, suggestions, etc.? [/quote]
