It may feel like you\u2019re always in the kitchen <a href=\"https:\/\/tinybeans.com\/healthy-toddler-snacks\/\">slicing fruit<\/a>, plating grilled cheese sandwiches, or running to the store because somehow the fridge and pantry are empty <em>again<\/em>. And just when you think they\u2019ve eaten a <a href=\"https:\/\/tinybeans.com\/toddler-dinners-ideas\/\">hefty portion at dinner<\/a> (and you\u2019re thrilled!), they\u2019re begging for goodies minutes later. So what\u2019s the deal? Why does it seem like your kids are always hungry? As a dietitian and mom of two, I see this all the time, and I\u2019ve found that there are a few possible factors at play\u2014and some simple ways to help solve them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-1-they-re-growing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. They\u2019re growing\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Sometimes we underestimate just how much food our kids need to fuel their growing bodies. Your kiddo will go through several growth spurts during their childhood and adolescence\u2014the major one occurring <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/kidshealth.org\/en\/parents\/childs-growth.html#:~:text=Kids%20actually%20tend%20to%20grow,about%202%20to%205%20years.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">between 8 to 13 years in girls and 10 to 15 years in boys<\/a>\u2014and sometimes they<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25538876\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> just need more fuel to keep up<\/a>. Especially if you&#8217;ve got a tween or teenager, puberty can hit like a ton of bricks, turning them into reckless kitchen raiders in search of all the grub. You\u2019ll start <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthychildren.org\/English\/ages-stages\/gradeschool\/puberty\/Pages\/Physical-Development-of-School-Age-Children.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">noticing them growing<\/a> out of their clothing or shoes, voice changes, hair growth, emotional changes (mood swings! eye-rolling!), and maybe they\u2019re sleeping past noon whenever they get the chance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While toddler growth spurts <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthychildren.org\/English\/ages-stages\/toddler\/Pages\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">aren\u2019t as drastic<\/a> as the one during puberty, your tot may have a few mini periods of growth between ages 1 and 3. There may be times when they ask for seconds at dinner (hooray!), sleep for longer stretches, or complain that their legs hurt (growing pains).\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The solve:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Serve foods high in calories:<\/strong> Think beef, eggs, cheese, avocado, and peanut butter.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Cut out those light, airy snacks <\/strong>that don\u2019t have too many calories per serving, like popcorn and puffs. Instead, offer calorie-dense foods like granola, protein bars, trail mix, beef jerky, or peanut butter sandwiches.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Add calorie boosters to their food:<\/strong> Olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, melted butter, and nut butter can also be easily swirled into their yogurt and oatmeal or slathered on toast.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Reduce distractions at mealtime:<\/strong> When your kiddo is preoccupied with the TV, phone, or other electronics it may divert their attention away from their food.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-2-they-re-not-eating-the-right-foods\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. They\u2019re not eating the right foods<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Your kiddo may be eating more frequently because the food they&#8217;re munching on isn&#8217;t actually filling them up, so instead of feeling satisfied after a meal or snack, they&#8217;re hungry again 20 minutes later. Plus, they may be <a href=\"https:\/\/tinybeans.com\/costco-snacks-for-kids-packaged-dietitian-approved\/\">snacking on foods<\/a> that spike their blood sugar (candy, juice, cookies!), which means they\u2019re hungry again soon after.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The solve:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Offer foods loaded with protein and fat<\/strong>, which will keep them energized and full, and keep their blood sugar in check. Foods high in protein include chicken, beef, fish, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and chickpea pasta. Fatty foods include cheese, nuts and nut butter, seeds, avocado, and butter.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Include fiber-rich ingredients<\/strong>, which will keep your kids full between meals. Think of fiber-rich foods as the hearty stuff like quinoa, rolled oats, brown rice, or whole-wheat tortillas. A quick tip when grocery shopping\u2014always look for the word \u201cwhole\u201d before the grain on the ingredient list. If it says \u201cwheat\u201d or \u201cenriched wheat,\u201d that&#8217;s not what you want.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>When offering treats and desserts<\/strong> that can spike your kiddo\u2019s blood sugar, pair them with protein and fat to keep them full and keep their blood sugar in check. For example, give their bowl of ice cream a nutritional boost by mixing some chia seeds or flaxseeds in with their rainbow sprinkles, or swirling in some peanut or almond butter.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-3-they-re-grazing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. They\u2019re grazing\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If your kid can <a href=\"https:\/\/tinybeans.com\/snack-drawer-within-reach-kids\/\">freely raid the snack drawer<\/a> or if you don\u2019t have set times for meals and snacks, chances are they&#8217;re probably grazing throughout the day. In doing so, they\u2019re coming to meals less hungry and eating less of the foods that matter more. As a result, they\u2019re filling up on flimsier snacks and not getting enough food to fill their belly.\u00a0Over time, constantly snacking can mess with their ability to tell when they\u2019re genuinely hungry or full, making them rely on external cues (like convenience or boredom) over their hunger signals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The solve:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Establish regular meal and snack times<\/strong> to make it easier for kids to know when it&#8217;s time to eat. Toddlers and young kids haven\u2019t quite mastered the ability to judge for themselves.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Store snacks out of reach of little kids<\/strong> so they can\u2019t grab them whenever they want.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Have an open conversation<\/strong> with tweens and teens, because with bigger kids it\u2019s less about setting strict boundaries. Explain why grazing isn&#8217;t the best idea to help put things into perspective so that when they open the snack drawer, they\u2019re actually hungry.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-4-they-re-bored-or-stuck-in-a-routine\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. They\u2019re bored or stuck in a routine<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Kids may turn to food when they\u2019re bored because, well, it\u2019s something to do. Over time this can turn into a bad habit, and they may snack on foods when they\u2019re not actually hungry. Other kids are used to snacking at specific times, like in the car on the way to soccer practice or when they get home from school. They may nibble on something simply because it\u2019s \u201csnack time,\u201d a part of their routine, and not because they are genuinely hungry. Breaking the association between a specific time, habit, or external cue and eating could be the first step toward putting an end to this type of snacking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The solve:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Offer planned meals or snacks<\/strong>, every two to three hours.

In a twelve-hour period, that means a meal or snack every two to three hours.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Limit eating to designated locations<\/strong> such as the kitchen or dining room. This way, eating in the car, on the couch, or in their bedroom is off-limits. Plus, it\u2019s one step closer to disassociating food from boredom.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Keep food out of sight<\/strong>, tucked away in drawers or the pantry. Sometimes kids will ask for a snack simply because it\u2019s in their line of vision.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you get to the bottom of why your kid is always hungry, you\u2019ll be able to help them find a routine that works.
