[quote=Anonymous]My son did this a lot in MS, I'd often find his intact sandwich in his lunch bag that evening.  Could your DS possibly be buying lunch at school?  I used to check the online cafeteria purchases and see if he was getting anything.

But my DS (now 15, been in the 50% for weight) often eats little during the day during the week.  He's in his big growth spurt (started late) and you'd think he was eating all day long, but he isn't.  Doesn't eat breakfast before school, sometimes eats a fair amount at school for lunch, sometimes very little (he's at a private and it depends on what they're brought in for the day), but loves a huge dinner.  This is a kid who always favored Thanksgiving over Christmas, because he'd much rather have a giant late meal than a lot of gifts.

On the weekends he wavers between eating a few snacks during the day and a LOT at dinner, or he'll make himself a giant breakfast, then eat nothing the rest of the day until dinner.  So I'd say if he's eating enough calories overall, it doesn't really matter the time of the day.  I assume he's eating a lot when he gets home?[/quote]
