This is a typical week for 14yr DS. Close to six foot and skinny as a rake. I had to sort out this menu (and another one to turn over every fortnight) to stop the endless "what is there to eat"? Takes a bit of planning but it's made life a lot easier accepting that they want to eat six times a day !

Breakfast: three scrambled eggs on brown toast.
Mid morning snack: cereal bar.
Packed lunch: leftover Sunday lunch sandwich, two satsumas, yoghurt.
Mid afternoon (on the bus home) snack: veggie samosa, fruit.

Weekends = chaos as also have DD9 and DS7 and if anyone dares ask "is there anything to eat" the answer is always "fruit".
