The average teenager costs €3,791 a year to feed.

The average teenager costs €3,791 (£3,244) a year to feed.

Parents of teens in Britain said the youngsters are hungry just one hour after consuming a huge meal, and it comes after new research by Birds Eye revealed a third of teens (31%) raid the fridge for more grub.

Other findings have revealed boys are more expensive to feed than girls, running up a hefty bill of €4,041(£3,458) compared to the huge sum of €3,501(£2,996) for females.

Veteran Bond henchman Jaws - who was played by Richard Kiel - said: "My steel teeth are only available in museums nowadays, but Birds Eye's fish burgers are a little easier to bite into than a cable car - and a lot tastier. I've had four teenagers myself and know how big their appetites are so it's good to see food developed just for them."
