[quote=Anonymous]I can appreciate that you are trying to budget, but judging by the meals you referenced serving, I don’t think you are actually in a situation where you wouldn’t be able to afford more of the non-veg protein. If this has repeatedly come up, which it sounds like it has, you need to serve more of the food your son actually wants to eat. It’s honestly a bit controlling to be this rigid about the portion sizes another person eats when you are making healthy meals. Go back to Ellyn Satter, like you did with toddlers. You decide what is served, the child decides which foods he will eat and how much. And a 4 or 5 oz portion of fish is nothing for a teen athlete and he shouldn’t have to guzzle whole milk because you are dismissing his appetite. [/quote]
