[quote=Anonymous]It’s funny. I have 3 teens/tweens and all are different. Oldest, loves sugary junk food. Will not prepare own food but will walk to local store to buy candy. Eats the typical 3 meals a day (along with the unhealthy snacks). But, does get full so won’t snack to excess. Second, will take time to make more healthy (and complex at times) snacks on own. Never eats breakfast. Sometimes won’t eat until dinner! (But makes up for it at dinner and then snacks afterwards) Third, loves fruit, nuts, cheese for snacks. Junk food too but if healthier options available will naturally gravitate to those. Also not a breakfast eater and doesn’t get hungry until later in day. All are at a healthy weight and energy level so I don’t stress about it. But I think the nature over nurture influence is strong. The 2that don’t eat breakfast are night owls and they really have much more energy and alertness at night. [/quote]
