Lpt: replace all - and i mean all the snacks and prepackaged food with fruits and vegtables or just healthy things. Watch, as these thi gs will last for seemingly forever. Until you'll be forced to eat them. It's funny

Someone probably shouldn't be your teenage son AND your husband.

Can't wait! I'd eat like 4-5k calories a day, and literally couldn't put on weight, although swimming competitively helped a bit I'm sure. Was just a bean pole.

Smoked an unhealthy amount of weed as a kid too, and my go-to high snack was a half gallon of milk and an Entemann's All Butter French Crunbcake. Believe it or not, I cannot eat like that anymore.

And they wonder why Americans aren’t having more kids

I used to do that

I'm still can't believe some crazy guy 100 years ago convinced the whole country that eating sugar with milk is somehow a healthy breakfast. And the same guy convinced the same country to do the genital mutilation on male infants.

Cereal is the most delicious thing in the universe that doesn't require anything more than pouring two things into a bowl. No peeling, heating, mixing, blending, layering, etc. Two things, in a bowl, and you don't use goes back in the place it came from.

Yeah that was me. Come home from school after eating a big school lunch, eat a quarter loaf of bread and 1L milk. Have a 2 hour nap, eat 2 servings for dinner, ask if anyone else wants more before scraping the leftovers in the pots and pans onto my plate.

When I was a teen in highschool... I was in a weightlifting gym class and I did soccer. When is get home, for a snack if have a party pizza (or two). Probably went through a carton of milk myself. God my mom was so pissed. I was probably half or grocery budget alone for a few years

This is why they invented leaving your family.

To be fair, my husband will just have 6 bowls of cereal in a row all of a sudden.

But my son… here he is with his mixing bowl.

Edit: when my son went through a miso soup phase, he would get the big mixing bowl and use a whole block of tofu. Probably straight up 2L of miso broth. For context, he is 6’2” and 19.

We usually have four young people around the house ages 16-21 ((only three are ours). We're lower middle class and don't receive any food assistance. Our food bill straight up destroys our budget.

Get some grapes nuts it'll last for months

It takes an enormous amount of energy to grow. One of my friend’s sons actually has stretch marks because he grew so quickly one summer.

Within limits, I think teenagers have a license to eat ridiculous amounts of food.

That's because that isn't food.

It’s human kibble basically

Try this:

1. instead of a giant bowl pour a regular bowl with extra milk
2. when you finish the cereal do not drink the milk
3. pour more cereal
4. repeat as desired
