[quote=Anonymous]My son has ADHD and takes Adderall and is always starving at night when it wears off. He then eats a bunch of crap if there isn't decent stuff for him to choose from.

I (middle aged woman) also have ADHD and take adderall and have to force myself to eat little things during the day even when Im not hungry or else I do the same.

ADHD is wierd. I am the mom and know better, but I don't want to take the time to make healthy food/eat healthy food a lot of the time. Honestly, it is just so many steps sometimes even just to cut a vegetable. It seems so overwhelming sometimes to make food. We eat a lot of prepared Wegmans stuff where I just throw it into the oven because thats all my addled brain can handle most of the time.  I tell you this bc I assume that is how your son feels as well.

The only solution that I have is a combination of what others have said: let him know what is off limits and what he can eat, make sure that he has enough of what he wants to eat, and then just accept that teenage boys eat a lot of food.[/quote]
