For an American teenage boy, hitting the four food groups often means a burger, fries, soda, and a candy bar. In the age of fast food, how can parents help their hungry sons eat right without spending untold hours in the grocery store and kitchen? HOW TO FEED A TEENAGE BOY comes through with solid dietary information, shopping tips, and scores of easy-to-prepare recipes for tasty, nutritious fare the whole family will eat. With this cookbook and nutrition guide in one, parents will help their sons grow up strong and develop healthy eating habits for life.Reviews“Her ingredient lists are short, her food is appealing. . . this is the place to go if you need help feeding someone who seems to grow an inch in his sleep every night. Now you have to hope that Orcutt will tackle the dirty sock problem next.”—The Boston Globe

This is an excellent book that provides both good information and good recipes. Clearly written with good information. I have growing teenage grandsons who can't be filled up. Georgia Orcutt's book provides help.

This book is loaded with a lot of recipes & informational reading. The copyright is 2007. Much has changed since then. I didn’t feel this would be as useful to me as I hoped after reading its description when I purchased it. I returned it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good ideas for "boy food"
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2011
Verified Purchase
Much more than a collection of recipes, this book gives practical information and advice on making yummy, healthy food that teenage boys (and the rest of the family) will enjoy (or come to enjoy, if they're currently more focused on takeaways and snack foods).

It covers everything from what to stock your cupboards with, ideas for saving time, food you can prepare in advance so that hungry teens have good stuff to eat after school, and creative ways to encourage them to eat healthy, fresh food. Good ideas for how to involve boys in making food, whether it's tasty snacks and "minimeals", or the family meal,and how to help them develop useful skills for looking after themselves.

The recipes give ideas for everything from breakfast, lunches, and drinks to snacks and meals, with a refreshingly broad range of options and ingredients. Great ways to try some new cereals and grains, and ideas to give a different flavour to some familiar (and possibly boring) family meals. I can recommend the Any Day Muffins, and I love the idea of getting them 90% ready the night before and cooking them quickly in the morning! What a start to a school day...

I was expecting something different when i purchased this book. It was way too many recipes and not enough info on the numbers, i.e. Calories a day ,weight, etc. my grandsons are too thin and i wanted a book on calories a day, and lists of healthy foods to put on muscle, it was not in it. My opinion only.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really can’t say enough good things about it
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2018
My mother gave this to me as a gift, I really can’t say enough good things about it. It’s a resource, it’s cooking inspiration and I learned a lot about my growing son’s nutritional needs; which, as it turns out, is complex and unique. As the mom of a kid who has always been a “good eater” and not fussy, I no longer take that fact for granted as I can see now that some parents really struggle trying to feed fussy eaters and that is unfortunate but this book is a resource for them too. The title and subject matter of this book seems comical at first, but the good info in it is no joke! Makes a great gift for moms of boys.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of ideas for feeding a perpetually hungry adolescent!
Reviewed in Canada on August 8, 2012

Please don't be put off by the title in any way - this book is packed with great information and ideas for feeding growing kids of either gender. There is health information (nutrition, caloric needs, etc.) as well as brilliant strategies and teen-friendly recipe ideas. Some of the best ones are about getting the teenage boys to fend for themselves (in a healthier way than they might otherwise) by providing the "tools" - fresh fruit, sandwich makings, ingredients for smoothies - so they can make fast afternoon snacks that will get them through to their next meal.

Also good are the scaled up, easy recipes for when you end up feeding not only your own teenage boy, but a bunch of their friends, too! (Teammates, band members, etc.) I have recommended this book to my friends whose kids are entering the adolescent years - it's great for the teens to read, too!

This book is very informative. You have to get used to cup sizes at its American but it is full of useful information. Not every child is obese and needs to lose weight but all children need to be fed well and it helps show you the right food choices. This book gives helpful guidelines and organisational tips and since reading it I have upped my son's calorie intake to give him enough energy to cope with all his sporting commitments. It helps you do this without relying on easy calories such as chocolate and biscuits
