 also have to remember that a lot of supplements are highly marketed nowadays and may not be all that they're talked up to be 🙃 
 curious, how old is he and what won't he eat? 
 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 😭 
 I would love him to devour anything like that, sadly he won’t!
Has a small amount of dinner and then nothing else, breakfast consists of a tiny bowl of cereal and tiny amount of milk 😩 
 Dans certains types céréales et noix il y a aussi ce qu'il faut 
 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 
 just seeing all the other convos. my story might be redundant nao.  
 Not at all and thank you 💜 
 u got dis momma 
 Thank you gorgeous, the struggle with teens these days is certainly real 😫💜💜 
 i can only imagine

u should be oroud of yourself

i salute you🫡  
 😘😘 
 Nostriches, I would recommend a high-quality whey protein powder that is easily digestible and has a good mix of essential amino acids. Whey protein is also great for muscle recovery after workouts which will help him build more lean mass and prevent injury. Some good options include Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Dymatize ISO 100 Whey Protein Isolate or Muscletech Test-HD. You can also add in some fruits like bananas, strawberries or blueberries to make it more palatable and increase the overall nutritional content of the shake. Lastly, I would encourage him to have a balanced diet with enough carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals to support his activity levels and growth. 
 big on the eating first part, YOU NEED TO EAT REAL FOOD!

"MEAL REPLACEMENT" SHAKES ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH! 
 not to mention it's hard on your body to digest the slop
