How tall is he?
At 9 years old it is very difficult to control what a child eats. He will just sneak food or get it from his friends. Maybe it would be better to start him off with an exercise program that you could do with him as well.
I work in a grocery store and it always surprises me when I see the amount of crap that people buy for their kids lunch.
Granola bars covered in chocolate, chips,lunchables and pop are the number 1 items... But these same people will complain about the price of produce." What, $3.00 for a bunch of asparagus, take it off my bill!" Then they will grab a bag of nacho chips and dip and pay $7.00 and not blink an eye.....go figure.......
The best you can do is provide him with healthy food and educate him without nagging while he is with you. Maybe some of the education will stick with him and he will make better choices for himself.
