[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This obsession of always having a snack ready, packing snacks wherever you go, or making a special stop for a snack, is way out of control.

+1. And meetings, practices or activities must have snacks. After 45 minutes everyone needs to eat??[/quote]

I agree with all this, especially for little kids. But OP said her kid is a lanky tween boy. I think all bets are off. I haven't experienced a growing to teen boy in my house yet, but I remember my brothers eating. Maybe some moms who have been through teen boys can chime in. I think it's good for him to figure out when he is full, and not impose our "over 40 dieting mom appetites and portions" on a growing teen. Does everyone remember the thread about the mom of teens who never had leftovers? [/quote]

OP here. I am not on a diet. I look closely at his growth and he is gaining weight. I hope to keep him at the 70th%ile for weight as long as his vertical growth continues. He does not know that I am watching him closely as I do my other kids. He eats a ton of protein since I do want him to max out on height. He says he wants to play basketball or something like that.
