[quote=Anonymous]OP, teen boys eat A LOT. My son was a D1 defensive tackle so he is a bit of an outlier, but he would eat 10 chicken legs in one sitting then look around for the rest of the food. Salmon, broccoli and pasta would not be nearly enough for him unless there was a large quantity of each and he would still want more protein. I kept stuff on hand that he could easily find and eat. Roasted chickens from Costco were good. I would cut them up and put in a ziploc bag. Hummus with pita chips and baby carrots, Kind bars, turkey or beef jerky, and pulled pork (I would make a huge batch in the slow cooker), and meatballs (again, made a huge batch weekly) were almost always in the fridge for snacking. I kept a huge bag of pizza rolls in the freezer for junk food cravings. If push came to shove, I would tell him to use his protein powder and make himself a shake. They  need a lot of protein to feel full, if they're not getting it they will always feel snacky. Costco was my go to place to shop because they sold quantities that were sufficient for DS and his friends. [/quote]
