What do you let your teens eat unlimited amounts of? If anything?
Sporty 11 year old ds is a terror for always being "hungry" if he's around the house, but will make himself a family size portion of porridge with ordinary oats, which costs pence and isn't full of sugar, so we've agreed he can eat as much as he wants for between meals hunger as unlimited fruit and raw vegetables wasn't making him feel full apparently.
13 yo DD doesn't like porridge and has just eaten 3 apples and asked for toast. I know some people allow unlimited toast but my kids like toast too much, and might well exist entirely on hot buttered toast and toasted cheese sandwiches, and if I let one eat as much toast as she wants it will be favouritism not to let them all (also have a 7 yo fussy eater who'd definitely like to live exclusively on toast).
What do you allow young teens to fill up on between meals if they claim gnawing insatiable hunger?
