My son is in y7 and I'm not giving him dinner money anymore as he's eating shit and gaining weight which he really doesn't need to do already being overweight (but not caring)
I struggle to get him to eat breakfast and I have a feeling his packed lunches are gonna get really boring really quickly.
Previously he'd had £10 a week for school canteen he could get x 4 h3althier & balanced mains and small desert for this money but has chosen not to - getting snacks at break and pizza at lunch. Then when his money ran out taking a wrap in for lunch.
He says in the morning he doesn't know what he wants for breakfast/doesn't have time (doesn't get up early enough)
Any advice on what your teens do for breakfast or packed lunches at BIG school would be much appreciated

Isn't there more actual scientific evidence that our bodies don't actually need breakfast? Something about blood sugar. Think cavemen times when they woke up, then went out to catch their food. 'Getting a good breakfast' was simply very clever marketing from cereal companies. Many many people prefer not to have it.
