[quote=Anonymous]I have a teen and one who eats like a teen. They are very active. A typical dinner is a 2 lbs of fish, two huge sweet potatoes and a head of broccoli. When we grill, DS1 eats almost an entire family sized grilled chicken wings bag with  garlic bread (I make it at home with butter and fresh garlic) and a grilled sweet pepper. At lunch they typically eat sandwiches (ds1 around 4 and ds2 around 1) with buttered rolls, pork tenderloin, and arugula.  DS1 usually eats an Amy's pizza (he loves the margherita one) before bedtime. A trader Joe's pork tenderloin piece usually lasts them for lunch. A make a lot of spaghetti with lots of veggies in the sauce. Steak is also very popular, and they both can eat a wegmans package of grass fed tenderloin for dinner.  We get sushi and DS1 can eat 8 - 10 pieces. They usually finish a bag of mandarins and a box of strawberries a day.

Mine are thin - heaviest they've been was 75 percentile weight and super tall (ds1 is 98 percentile,  ds2 is outside the chart) and I think it's because they don't like sweets as much and they don't have a sweet tooth.  But they eat an enormous amount and we spend a lot of money and time feeding them. Short story is that they eat a lot and we try feeding them nutritious dense foods. [/quote]
