As a growing and very active boy I should have an enormous appetite but I don’t. I eat little amounts of food at a time to make up the almost 2000 calories. I should be eating about 3500 according to my mother, a nutrienist, and http://www.thedailyplate.com. I eat so little because I take focus pills called concerta and one of the affects of the drug besides helping a person focus, it leaves a lack of desire to eat. I can be really hungry at times and in the next moment, I’m not. I’ll eat a little and then just stop because I’m “full”. I just can’t eat anymore but I know I have to. I’m not getting enough calories and protein in my body. I am a very active boy and needs energy. To make up for the pills, I eat a lot of small meals to try to eat more in a day.

All meals of mine need to have a great balance of nutritional substance in them. So I start my day this way, with a banana & strawberry light yogurt with a fourth of a cup granola in it. Yogurt is made up of milk, which gives me protein. Granola is good for your digestive track and nuts and cranberries are fruits good for your health but especially nuts are because there, “high in protein have fiber and antioxidants” and good for you. My chicken sandwich with mayonnaise is a very good source of protein with five slices of chicken on each sandwich.

I feel that in the last 48 hours I have eaten good food that is good for a well-balanced protein diet but I also know I have not eaten enough calories for my activity level. As I said before I take concerta, a focus medication that cuts my appetite. I feel that I have to push my self to eat but I don’t want to. I don’t know what to do about it except don’t take it over the weekend and eat as much as I can but that’s not the thing to do.
