[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many parents try big breakfast before meds kick in. I cooked bacon, sausage, pancakes and waffles on the weekend to freeze and throw in the microwave during the week. Some try late dinner or second dinner or good night snack after meds have worn off.  Also se give up meds on weekends in order to get more calories. [/quote]

After trying many other solutions, DS started on meds by K, and weigh loss (on a skinny picky eater ensued).

Agree on the big breakfast, as lunchtime is nonexistent or minimal.   Dinner whenever hungry, even if it's not "our dinnertime" for the grownups.  Flexibility [for me and DH] is key I found.   And another meal late in the evening.   Sometimes it's cereal or a big ham/turkey/cheese sandwich.  Others some frozen sliders, or ravioli.   A milkshake when we're out.  When I look back at earlier photos of DS I cannot believe how very skinny he was at the time, even though we were doing our best.   Now a healthy teen, still thin, but with knowing a calorie intake he needs, running/working out, it's more muscular thin that just skinny.
