I have two in my house. Nate has baseball practice 3+ hours a day, 6 days a week. College style. An 18 year old boy can eat you out of the house the way it is. He doesn't want to eat in the cafeteria for lunch, or buy something, and since college is 25 miles away in the little town of El Dorado, Kansas he takes a lunch. Nate needs 2942 calories a day to maintain his weight with no exercise. Steve ran 74.9 miles last week. That is burning around 11,000 calories for the week. You figure his daily maintenance calories for his weight are around 2975 a day plus the 11,000 divided into days is another 1571 he should be eating 4571 calories a day to maintain. He also still hits the gym for weights on a regular basis. A regular donut has 220 calories. He could eat 20 donuts a day and not gain weight. Or 99 chicken Mcnuggets. Insane, right?
Every night before I go to bed I pack lunches. Steve leaves at 5:30 in the morning, I leave around 7:20 and Nate leaves at 8:30. Easier to do it at night. Here are our lunch boxes. Mine is the green one, Steve's the light blue, Nate's the royal blue.
In all fairness, Nate's also holds a couple of gatorades. I pack his lunch in a watertight rubbermaid container and he puts it in this cooler with ice because it sits in his car for 3 hours while he is in class. But it sure is a funny looking lunch box.
