My son is 16 years old. He leads the O-line on his football team. He takes his lunch of high protein every day - Mrs. O does not care about the athletic students that need more - remember, we don’t want the losers to feel bad about their lack of achievement.
When my son was in Iraq with USMC, we were told that they were using at least 6,000 calories a day. I would suspect that high school athletes burn comparable amounts. I agree, Mrs. 0 does not want those who are not athletic to feel bad about not being able to eat more.
