[quote=Anonymous]I can see why you may not allow snacks. I agree, constant snacking is all too common now. I can even see how you will question their hunger if the only want junk. But to determine what is a proper portion for a teen boy is - is insane. Especially if he is "lanky." You could actually be harming his development. Its not about what some book says is his "average need for calories". It is about what he needs that day. Given you restrictions, you may not even realize that kids have growth spurts and during those spurts they eat a ton of food. Its normal. If you feel the need to control and limit - limit their eating to healthy foods. Otherwise you are risking harming them, not to mention causing future eating disorders. [/quote]
