My son had his own giant salad bowl. Favorite food in my house....goulash...and they all still make it...and they’re in their 50s.
As a junior in high school at our normal dinner meal, I also received a 1-pound mass of hamburger meat as my personal extra as dessert, plus the several instant breakfasts I would drink with the meal and all day.
The two school trays and 2 snack bar hamburgers and several milks for school lunch, and breakfast was as big as I get.
None of it worked, the calories I was burning would not let me attain the extra weight I needed for college.
