curious, how old is he and what won't he eat?
Discussion
He’s almost 15 years old and he won’t eat 3 proper meals each day.
Hates steak and refuses to eat it, will only eat a little beef mince, chicken, fish and lamb with a little salad. He hardly has breakfast and very small lunch and then just dinner!
oh boy
is he big on the processed foods?
No we eat very healthy
weird
You would’ve been horrified by my teenage diet. It’s easy as an adult to assess what a good diet looks like, but lots of kids and teens have huge mental blocks which need to be broken down first.
Also, I respect the Jack Johnson. Phenomenal artist.
thank you 😂
i'm actually a teen myself so i see lots of people that have absolutely no appetite when it comes to eating home cooked meals (eating disorder) and then will devour an entire box (at least 3/4) of cereal that clocks in at 160 calories a serving. so they end up wasting at least 1,000 calories on junk that makes them hungry again in 2 hours and wonder why they can't keep the weight off.
was wondering if this was a similar case but it seems that it isn't and either there isn't any appetite or marie's kid is willing to starve 😭
bulk prepmeals in food containers he can easily warm up
for bulk, per container:
250gr white basmati rice (sticky, not wet, not dry)
175gr meat or fish, cook w fat or grill
100gr veggies (broccoli, paprika, carrots whatever)
variate w different herbs and spices for meat and veggies unless he's ok w eating the same everytime ofc
450/500gr food total per container
he needs 2/3 containers per day at min to start fr, esp if he is already losing weight now
these prepmeals i used to prepare for bulkers.. these guys ate like 4 containers per day next to shakes and other stuff
he needs to want to eat it himself tho, maybe try let him understand.. and try let him help prepping in the kitchen so he can continue the preps himself.. try diff things, put on music, make it fun, do silly contests
he needs to eat before adding shakes
properly measured fruit/veg mealsmoothies w extra protein powder might also be a great idea.. alone or in addition.. if he's more a liquid type.
gift him a foodscale, blender and a juicer if u can, w recipe book for smoothies perchance. maybe that'll make it fun for him somehow.
das my brainstorm
show him the maths
