[quote=Anonymous]I am the OP of the other post. Thank you for this! Tthe difference in total calories in this menu, and what my older kid, a 15 year old boy, eats, is enormous. A serving of ramen, with vegetables, even higher calorie ones like corn and edamame, is a side, or a part of a snack to him. If he was going to make a meal of ramen he'd add a few boiled eggs, and some pork or chicken or tofu, and some more substantial veggies. And he'd eat it with a glass or two of milk, and a couple bananas for dessert. Is that because he's male, or because he's bigger, or he's growing faster, or he training more intensely? I don't know. But this gives me some insight into my daughter, who is 10. Maybe some of why her father looks at her meals and thinks "that's not enough protein!" is because he is expecting her to eat like her brother. This is definitely food for thought. [/quote]
