My son takes concerta XL he's 15. His appetite is very minimal whilst on meds but as with you he doesn't have them at weekends. His appetite increases then and I have noticed a degree of lethargy on and off them. But hes never passed out or been close. I would definitely focus on the food side of things.
He also has ASD and dyspraxia so I cant make him eat, I just save his fave meals for days he isn't on meds. He eats far more then. Good luck.
