[quote=Anonymous]I hear you!  I never cease to be amazed by the amount of food that our teen boys (and girls) pack away.

My suggestion is to teach your boy how to scramble eggs (or make omelettes).  These are fast and nutritious.  Show them how to add some cheese and diced tomato (or even salsa) or even fresh spinach and feta.  If he can throw a few slices of bacon in the oven or in the microwave then he has a pretty nice meal.

Our boys also love making smoothies.  Every once in a while I'll walk in and see that someone made pancakes.  It is always a mess but they seem to like it!

I usually have a big pot of mac and cheese in the fridge.  And I almost always have a roasted chicken that they know they can carve off of and make sandwiches, etc.  And, if they're absolutely desperate, I keep Eggos and Hot Pockets in the freezer as well as some Stouffers.

I also make big batches of hummus and then have lots of bags of small veggies and naan around.  We also go through yoghurt and granola like crazy.

Sometimes I wish they would just stand in place, tilt their heads back and I could 'fill them up' like you do at the gas station with the car.  Yikes we go through a lot of food and milk![/quote]
