[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 236460, member: 1233"] I am sorry he is lying to you. but this seems to be both an academic issue AND a health issue. Have you tried any of the various Balance Bars or Zone Bars? There are a LOT of different ones out there now and they are MUCH better tasting than the nutrition bars used to be. I keep a stash for husband, as if they are busy and they don't get lunch brought in (many times they can charge lunch to whatever bigwig they are working on a proposal for) then he won't take time to go get something, or even to heat something up in the microwave. he can grab a bar and have enough to tide him over until he gets home. I also have them for the kids. If we are going somewhere right after school I make sure thank you has one, because he gets really cranky if he doesn't get protein after school. He can even pack one as part of his lunch if there are not leftovers he is willing to eat for lunch and he doesn't want school lunch. I look for ones that do NOT have artificial sweeteners and have a decent amount of protein in them. Balance and Zone bars generally have a 40-30-30 ratio of carbs-fat-protein. Kashi has several lines that he might like. The have GoLean bars and Go Lean Rolli bars that are really GOOD (and I don't like anything that tastes even remotely like health food, LOL!). These Kashi bars also have a decent amount of fiber in them (the Rolli ones have 6 grams of fiber, which is very good for these bars). kashi also has a granola type bar that is in the pop-tart section of the store. My kids LOVE them - I have to ration them or they would eat a box in about 2 hours. They don't have as much protein, but they do have fiber and are AWESOME tasting. I have found these are a great solution for my thank you. He doesn't like to eat in the evening (has been this way since he started eating solid food). So whatever he eats after school may be all he eats. If I have the nutrition bars, they ensure he has at least a little bit of protein. And they are quick to eat and very portable, so they don't interfere with homework or playing. There are a LOT of brands out there. Target has some that taste very chocolatey-rich. But they still fit the 40-30-30 or close to it. You DO have to read the labels, because some of the "nutrition" bars are mostly all sugar. And then there are some that are almost all protein and taste rather like eating your shoes, according to my kids. Can you put lunch money on a card at school for him and that way you can know when he "should" need lunch $$ and even get a record from the cafeteria to show what days he is actually eating? I hope that getting some nutrition at lunch helps him in the classes he is having problems in. [/QUOTE]
