Having had 3 boys–I can sympathize with you!

Realize that teenage boys sometimes just need more fuel, more often for their growth-spurting bodies. Combine that with a lunch that might be skimpy, skipped or ridiculously early–and that boy will be ravenous walking through the door.

Our sons had lunch at 10:50–ridiculously early, but at least a chance to eat, because our small high school had a 20 minute period when there were NO classes so the kids had a chance to eat. A lot of larger schools have students taking classes every period during the day and the kids do not have a period for lunch.

I used to try to have some portions of dinner ready early so they could help themselves, and I also used to keep healthy choices at the ready–my guys didn’t really like junk food all that much.
