[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you European? Because I've yet to see Americans putting butter on toast. I actually had teen girls at school make fun of exchange student from Europe who did that, which I told them to stop and that it is never ok to make fun is normal in many parts of Europe... But, as the budget, I found Aldi to be great for feeding my two athletic teens. They are not as huge of eaters as many others, but it is like a bipolar disorder with mine, one day they are not hungry, next day three steaks. It was a good thing they liked Aldi selection, but I cook a lot so it wasn't premade mostly. If you can afford it, supplement with Chipotle or what they like, I know it is not as healthy, but you can't be cooking day and night, or want to? Don't know what turkey sticks are either. Everything sounds really healthy, but add fat to it. Bacon in the morning, mine will come and say that they want real meat, roasted chicken, pork cops, steaks, not tacos or pasta with ground beef, that fills them up, but it gets expensive, hence Aldi.[/quote]

Thanks! No, not European. I've never seen an American NOT put butter on toast, lol...unless they're doing something else like avocado/pb/etc.

Ok, so I'm hearing a lot of "needs more fat"...any suggestions for foods? [/quote]

Do they like avocados?  My son makes "quick guac" by smashing up an avocado with some lime juice, onion powder, red pepper flakes for heat, and a tomato.  He'll eat that on pitas or crackers.

Try different nut butters... sun butter, almond butter, cashew butter, etc. or just different mixed nuts.

Mine also tosses chia seeds in with some vanilla ice cream and almond milk to make a shake.

Full fat yogurt with fruit added or if they are able to drink it, a full fat glass of milk.   [/quote]
