[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is eating a shit-ton of breakfast. Explain to him that he will begin to eat a normal portion in the a.m. of favored foods.[/quote] Registered Dietitian here, and I agree that this is the root of your problem. We all train ourselves to eat/ be hungry on cue and he has gotten into a pattern that he eats most of his calories for the day at breakfast, and then doesn't feel hungry or need to eat as much the rest of the day. This in and of itself is not a bad thing, but he is not getting the nutrient variety at breakfast that he needs. This will require some retraining but it can be done if you are firm. You have to start by limiting the amount he eats at breakfast and insisting on more variety. The eggs/ bacon/ toast are OK -- some days -- but it should not be a daily thing. Go with a simple bowl of cereal and fruit some days, and then expect him to eat more at lunch.[/quote]
