He sounds a bit like Kyu: a big boy who has always been a big eater. I also am like the commenter above in that I would rather have a strong boy who enjoys food than deal with picky eating. However, I *am* concerned with Kyu's weight and am focusing on reinforcing good habits for him (like avoiding eating when bored, not being compelled to clean the plate, etc.)
For what it's worth, I now regard oatmeal as the devil. Though it's so yummy, I feel hungry and sick like clockwork about 30 minutes after eating it or any other type of cereal. It's worse than if I'd eaten nothing at all, so definitely not worth the calories in my opinion. Also: since I started really monitoring my food intake, I found that even eating certain fruits on their own makes me hangry and sick. I guess what I'm saying is, if Jake is like me, reducing carbs and/or adding more protein could help. <3
