[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP why the hell can’t your sons just eat more whole healthy foods? I find it really messed up that you won’t even consider getting rid of the calorie dense junk. They can just eat more potatoes at dinner. They don’t need the crap either. [/quote]

Clearly you don't have teen boys.  Come back and comment again when you do. [/quote]

For real.  Athletic teen boys easily eat 5000 calories per day.

That's not easy to do on hard boiled eggs and cucumbers (or whatever healthy snack you are imagining). [/quote]

I have one teen and one 20 yr old athlete.  Both eat around 4-5000 calories a day.  Can't be done on cucumbers, but can't be done properly on junk food either.  Both of them eat "whole" food as mentioned by a PP in order to get enough calories and build muscle.  That generally means a lot of PB on whole wheat bread, rice dishes with protein, fats, and some veg, ditto for pasta.  Smoothies with whole milk, protein powder, fruit.  Not bags of Doritos.

And if you are a girl sitting in your room majority of the day, eating similar whole foods of enough quantity, you can get fat. [/quote]
