how to quench permanent hunger in a teen?

[SlartyBartFast]

i offer toast and butter, he won't eat cheese, or peanut butter, marmite but is this like the toddler stage, only letting them, he is a skiny devil -
what else?

I remember my mother taking me to the doctor when I was about 11 or 12 as she thought there was something wrong with me because I ate so much but stayed so skinny.

I still think she was mad for doing that .

two evening meals
this is getting expensive

did she think you had worms cammella

That's what my mum thought, Slarty!

I was permanently hungry as a teenager and as thin as a rake.
My eldest is the same and I let her have cereal, toast, lots of fruit before dinner and sometimes she needs stuff after as well.

my ds is finally growing upwards, he's a bit tubby so I'm hoping that will disappear. He loves carb foods, but also sweet stuff, hence the tummy.

He'll do himself a bowl of noodles, take about 3 mins to cook, & smother them with soy sauce.

I also make sure there's home made cake around, if it's home made I can cut down the sugar & sometimes hide fruit & veg in them.

my dd is the opposite, grown upwards really rapidly and is a size 8. eats more healthily that ds, with the exception of chocolate.

I don't know Slarty, but the dr didn't examine me or anything. Just said I was perfectly normal. I think my mother just didn't realise I take after my father's side of the family

My DS1 is 5'10'' and weighs 9 stone. He is 12 years old and lives to eat.
I know he's home when I hear the fridge door open. He pretty much eats constantly then until bedtime.

I insist he eats a good balenced meal with plenty of fruit and veg.
Apart from that I try to keep the snacks fairly healthy in the sense of not all sweet stuff and a high ratio of carbs.Crisps are rationed.
I bake loads of bread and filling things like flapjacks. He also likes plain flour tortillas, hot pitta bread, breakfast cereal and toast.
I've told him to enjoy it while he is growing as he won't be able to eat like this forever without getting fat. I feel it's okay at his age, he's very sporty and he is growing at such a phenomenal rate.

DD is 13, stick thin and constantly hungry, although she prefers grazing rather than meals.

So - peanut butter on toast; peanut butter on bagels; peanut butter on oat cakes.

That fruit jam stuff from the health food shop - on fruit bread, toast, bagels, crumpets etc.

Porridge

Omelettes - she cooks these herself

Noodles with soy sauce and soy beans - she cooks this herself and it's ready in five mins if you use rice noodles.

rice cakes

Houmus, pitta and carrot sticks

Dry cereal

I was one of these...

I used to eat my packed lunch, at 10.30 break, then go and spend my allowance in the canteen buying a huge baguettes, then to the cafe at lunch for a plate of chips

What does he have for breakfast? Even now I want to eat lunch at 11am unless I have a cooked breakfast when I can go til 1-ish.

Could he have beans on toast or scrambled egg for brekkie?
