[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry. No one who is a healthy weight with non-disordered eating is eating an entire bag of clementines in a day. Or an entire pint of strawberries. That is compulsive behavior. I would absolutely see that as a symptom of a larger issue. [/quote]

I guess you don't have a teen boy. My kid easily eats 1 pint of strawberries or 6 clementines (or 2 apples and a banana, or a pound of grapes, etc) as a single serving of fruit. Of course, he is rather an anomaly at 6'4" and 190 lbs... but he is not disordered or compulsive.

FWIW, we have always eaten fruit at every meal. I was actually surprised when I figured out that was not usual amongst other families.[/quote]

lol, you all are acting like a pint of strawberries is some huge amount of food. It’s not a crate of strawberries. Depending on size of strawberries that’s 15-20 strawberries. No rules for fruits here other. They’re welcome to eat as much fruit as they like. Sometimes even a pint of strawberries at one sitting, and I don’t have teen boys yet.[/quote]
