[quote=Anonymous]13 yr old DS has 6 practices a week for soccer (M-Th for school team, T/Th for travel team) and then 1 game on Saturday for his travel team.

Historically, he's never really had much fluctuation in weight between his really busy seasons (summer/fall) and his less busy season (winter) with spring being in the middle.  He tends to up his food intake on his own when he's really active and his appetite isn't as much when he's not.

The hardest part is he takes after me and breakfast when he's tired makes him nauseous.  Thankfully lunch is ridiculously early but even then he may only eat half his lunch.   Then he packs a high protein/carb snack to either eat before practice or in between practices.  Our dinners are a pretty healthy mix of protein, carbs, and veggies.

Snacking isn't off limits, we've just taught him the importance of different foods needed for how active he is.  A pretty common snack that the makes is tuna stuffed inside sticky rice and wrapped in seaweed.  [/quote]
