[quote=Anonymous]My twins were big eaters as kids.  Age 6 they would eat a big breakfast (we would usually do leftovers so they would have like spaghetti, carrots and hummus and scrambled eggs),

Lunch they would eat a bunch of fruit and some muffins and cheese.  They would have fruit and crackers for midmorning snack at school and then some kind of snack after school (varied widely)

Then for dinner I remember their favorite weeknight dinner was this “bean salad” made from a can of corn, a can of kidney beans, a can of black beans, a can of garbanzos, and two cans of sliced olives and they would inhale it topped with sour cream and scooped up with tortilla chips.  They would polish off about half of it in one sitting which means they were each eating basically a full can of food plus topping and chips for dinner.

They were consistently in the 20th-50th percentile for both height and weight.

Now in 4th grade and they ate two california rolls and a specialty roll each at a sushi place last night.

Some kids are just HUNGRY.[/quote]
