Hollow legged teenager

My DS, J, is nearly 15 and nearly 6' tall.  I cannot have enough food in the house to fill him up.

I thought the whole "teenager with his head in the fridge" thing was a cliche.

I was wrong.

In a typical day he might eat

A lump of Aldi chocolate brioche (cos he doesn't get up in time to have a proper breakfast)
A chicken salad wrap, sausage roll and lump of homemade cake as his packed lunch.  Yes, I know about putting fruit etc, in the kids lunchboxes, but there isn't any point cos he never eats it.  I figure he gets some "health " in the wrap, often some dried fruit in the cake and he will eat fruit and veg when he gets home.  The sole purpose of school food is that he can eat it as fast as possible so that he can go and play football.
Then, when he gets home at 3.30, the real fun starts!

He swipes a bag of crips from a cupboard under the stairs as soon as he enters the house

He will then raid the cake tin again

He might make a cheese and ham toastie

Maybe a pear or tangerine from the fruit bowl - often both

A handful of biscuits

Maybe a slice of toast

Then dinner - meat, potato, veg whatever
Then yogurt for pudding

Maybe a bowl of porridge or cereal before bed.

The real insult is that he is as skinny as they come.  <<sigh>>

Anyway tonight's tea seems to have done the trick

Slow cooked braising steak, creamy mash, mixed up ends of cabbage and some carrots.  Good solid winter food the sticks to your ribs.

Sorry for lack of pictures, having some issues.
