[quote=Anonymous]I have adhd and binge ate at that age. It is a thing. Meds will help if it’s a problem. But specifically at this age, it’s really really common for boys to eat a whole extra meal. Mine does that regularly. And it’s also pretty common for kids to grow one way before growing the other way — so some shoot yo and are lanky then flesh out while others get chubby and then stretch out. Since he’s eating basically real food, I wouldn’t stress that much about it, but I might make sure he is getting enough protein — milk, etc. we keep those small Costco precooked chicken packets and my son will just eat them plain, or on frozen brown rice with beans, as a quick extra meal. Bananas also. Sometimes an apple. All healthy filling food. I definitely would not tell a 12 year old boy he can’t eat an extra meal during the day — they really need it. They are growing so fast they get stretch marks and joint pain. It’s a lot. [/quote]
