[quote=Anonymous]This is all such good advice! Let's keep it going ... it's reminding me of the thread where everyone kept telling the OP she had to cook more, more, more.

First thing: Yes, they need carbs. Lots of them. Every worry you've ever had about eating too many carbs has to go out the window. You don't have to eat them, but they do.

Some of our crowd pleasers, and I how I pump them up.

-- Spaghetti and meatballs. They could eat this every day. I usually make meatballs from scratch, starting with 3 lbs. of ground beef. Leftovers become snacks and lunches for another couple of days. I make a pound of pasta and serve it with a baguette and salad.

-- Chicken. I buy a pack of thighs, and often a pack of drumsticks. Augment with quinoa, rice, vegetables, etc.

-- Burgers. They easily eat two. Serve with potato wedges and a vegetable.

-- Enchiladas. I make a big pan, but when someone is in a growth spurt, I might also make rice and beans.

Hearty, not junky ... just lots and lots of food. [/quote]
