[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I[b]t's okay to feel hungry and to be ready for the meal, rather than eat just because food's in front of you, but if your kids are still hungry after eating dinner, then I think you need to adjust your sense of what's normal and healthy for growing teenage boys. [/b]

Also, just a note for the posters above, which your ped can confirm for your OP - being 95th for weight would not be overweight if paired with 95th (or something in that ballpark) for height. Your son may indeed be healthy, but being 70th for for weight doesn't mean he's heavy - you have a tall kid, OP. He's also growing. Now is not the time to restrict healthy foods.

Please speak to a medical professional and get some well-informed advice, so that your family's food policy can be well informed and not a misfired backlash against lax parenting trends. [/quote]

This.  Hunger before a meal = good!  Hunger after a meal because you were arbitrarily not allowed to eat enough = not good!

I am personally stunned at how much teenagers can eat.  Their bodies and brains are going through enormous changes and while they need healthy food, they need food![/quote]
