[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids (between the ages of 10-5) and they eat soooo much. We go through 6 yogurts a day. Don’t even get me started on the amount of fruit. They can finish a whole melon in one sitting. We go through a dozen bananas, 4 quarts of strawberries, a dozen apples, 2 pounds of bacon, multiple pounds of chicken etc. a week. Do you limit how much food your kids eat? It is so expensive! Our grocery bill is probably close to $400 a week. FWIW - none of the kids are overweight and one is on the smaller side (under 50%). [/quote] I have had kids this age (just a 10yo is my only minor now) and this amount of food sounds totally normal! I would probably buy the large tub of yogurt rather than the cups (although the cups are better for portion control, I get them at Sams) and maybe limit the bacon. Other than that-this sounds normal. Maybe get whatever berries are in season. Kids eat. That's what they do! [/quote]
