[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly he sounds like he’s ravenous because he’s a growing teenage boy whose appetite is suppressed during the day. When you’re ravenous of course you’re going to reach for heartier foods like pizza and not a handful of dried fruit or whatever. You sound like you are really controlling about your meal plans and how much you think he “should” be hungry for. You need to adjust what you are doing because he is clearly hungrier than you have been planning for. PP’s suggestion of protein heavy things like steak is good. And you also need to communicate with him if certain foods are supposed to be reserved for something in the future. Just stick a post it on it. He’s not a mind reader. Have some compassion. [/quote]

Also, all the things he skips over are cold. All the things he goes for are warm. My kid is the same. You can entice him to eat the bagels/cold cuts/etc if you turn it into something warm and comforting. Like a bagel egg and cheese sandwich with avocado or a chicken quesadilla. [/quote]
