[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have a problem with any guests helping themselves to food that was not out/offered.  I do think you have to realize the 16 year old boys eat a ton...so like 3 hamburgers is not unexpected.  Be sure you are serving enough at the meal.[/quote]

Eating 3 hamburgers is overeating.[/quote] You clearly do not have athletic teens.  At home, I make sure there is a lot of variety and I know what specific foods they like and will keep them full.  But at a family cookout, which happens what 2 or 3 times a year? Where the choices are usually burgers, hot dogs, chips, fruit, soda, etc.  And we are all afternoon and into the early evening.  They will definitely eat three burgers. [/quote]

They will be overweight adults. [/quote]

I ate like this.  I weight 118lbs and am 5’3” at 48.  You predicting how much food someone with a different metabolism than you needs is ignorant.  OP needs to feed them or not host, simple.[/quote]

118 lbs is a lot at 5’ 3”
