[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

So what do they eat?
[/quote]

Protein shakes 
Full fat yogurt bowls
Pasta with butter and meat sauce
Chicken, like 1/2 a chicken
Potatoes, loaded
Caesar salad, or a chef salad with ranch
Jambalaya sausage
Steak
Egg sandwich with bacon and cheese
Apples with peanut butter
Grilled cheese sandwiches or quesadillas 
Bagels with cream cheese
Burritos with rice/cheese/meat/beans 
[/quote]

these are meals not snacks[/quote]

No, they are snacks [/quote]

1/2 of a chicken is not a "snack" by any stretch of the imagination. Even people who don't have sons have husbands and brothers and fathers. This is not normal snacking. [/quote]

I mean you can call it whatever you want but 1/2 a chicken won't fill up an athletic teen boy for long. That's like...what, 700 calories? My kid's meals are more like 1500 calories and he has four of them per day plus snacks. [/quote]
