[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I hear that from my teen, it usually means "there's no food that is ready for me to pick up and eat that I'm interested in eating right now."  Which usually means he's not actually hungry, he's looking to eat out of boredom - i.e. looking for chips or cookies (which we may have, but not the specify variety that he wants at that particular moment). Nothing looks appetizing to him because he's not really hungry, just bored.  When he's actually hungry, he's perfectly willing to heat up the leftovers in the fridge or make a sandwich, or even pop a frozen pizza in the toaster oven.  [/quote]

My teens always want something that is ready to eat. Like a snack where they can open the package and pop in their mouth. I don't like getting too much processed food so now my teens say "We are an ingredient household" ! it's a thing apparently and they showed me memes and reels on social media about this.[/quote]

Same.  My kids say this when we are out of frozen nuggets, chips, cookies.  But whatever.  They can complain.  No one needs to eat processed snack foods daily, day in and out. I buy some weekly or biweekly, but when it’s out, they can figure it out until I shop again. We still have plenty of food to make up quick snacks and small meals that take under 5 min. They need to learn to do this and not rely on bagged snack food and frozen whatever whenever they are hungry.  [/quote]
