One more thing to add. My son eats and eats and eats at the beginning of each week. He loads up on carbs. We slow down on the portions at the end of the week but still let him eat a regular meal. I have been monitoring this since the Salina tournament now. In my opinion his energy level at these past tournaments is far higher than what we were doing in the beginning of the season. Dang I hope I didnt just give out my secret to success. That will be 5 bucks each time you use this method. No for real some of you should try this and see for yourself. those kids need to eat at this young age. I am no doctor but I have heard that it could hurt the growth of the child in the following years. Thats just what ive heard.
