Guest guest Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hi All, My 15 year-old son became a vegan about 6 months ago. I have been reading and learning to cook for him, and most evenings we have a vegan dinner. I also have baked vegan sweet treats and encouraged him to drink chocolate soy milk and smoothies to add to his intake. BUT my son, already tall and very thin, has lost 10 pounds in the past six months, and last night he stood up from the sofa and fainted, hitting his jaw on a chair on the way down, and narrowly missing breaking his neck or busting his head on the fireplace. Scary! He is a generally healthy kid, with good energy, so this isn't some strange underlying illness. He's just not getting enough food. He's taking a good multi-vitamin with B12 in it. At school they have vegetarian options, but those often have cheese, so he's having some trouble getting enough calories at school, and he is so completely tired of peanut-butter sandwiches, which he ate a lot of at school at first, that he won't eat them anymore. I need suggestions for higher calorie, interesting and tasty foods. Fast. The boy is almost 6 foot 3, and he weighs 145 lbs now! thanks Teresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
