Skinny pop is cheap at Costco and its perfect for grazing and eating it by the handfuls so it fills you up, but you don't feel gross. Love it as do my kids.

Watermelon is fine. Another good filler and hydrater. I'd think bananas are cheaper, fill you up more and not as messy.

OP asked for cheap and easy ways to fill her bottomless kids. Above suggestions are fine as well as other Pps suggesting microwavable taquitos, hot pockets, bagel bites, etc

Ravenous teen boys won't be able to get enough calories fromthe watermelon.  And the skinnypop has too much fiber -- it fills you up before you get enough calories.  I mean, they are fine snacks for people who are watching their weight.   That's not where OP's teen boys are right now.

Some people have no sense of how many calories a teen boy needs during a growth spurt -- it could be 3500 a day, especially if he is an athlete.  Little 150 calorie snacks are not going to cut it.  Snacks meant for premenopausal women are not really helpful.[/quote]
