This week we are trialling 100 additional calories every day to see if Ben will put back the weight he lost last week, and also to gauge the optimum intake he needs for the recommended 0.5kg a week weight gain. I believed the previous level was too low and was eventually proved right. So how will he adjust to having to eat more?

Looking for information on eating disorders in boys? Worried that your son has an eating disorder? How can you tell if a boy has an eating disorder? In 2009 my 15-year-old son developed anorexia.
