[quote=Anonymous]My son isn't quite as old as yours, but he is a serious athlete (and vegetarian by choice) who eats a ton. Hard to imagine that it will probably get worse! Some snacks he likes that might help you:

full-fat yogurt with granola and fruit added (we buy vanilla; I don't worry about the added sugar because he doesn't eat much sugary junk)

chocolate milk (ditto)

mashed avocado with salt, pepper, various dried herbs, on any kind of grain (bagel, crackers, toast, pita)

large salads with tahini dressing (look up a recipe) and lots of cubed tofu (you can buy a pre-marinated sesame or teriyaki tofu in the fridge section of any good grocery, or better yet, marinate extra firm tofu yourself and pan fry it; there are tons of recipes online, and every kid whose been at our house loves it)

good old cheese and crackers

peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, or any other nut butter they'll tolerate

sturdy pretzels dipped in heavy amount of hummus or peanut butter

Definitely buy whole milk, full-fat cheese and yogurt. Try some veggie burgers to mix it up a little. And a little more fun junk food won't hurt them. :)
