[quote=Anonymous]As long as you're making healthy choices and it's not all carbs and sugar (although kids do need whole carbs and fat) and he has a lot of physical activity I wouldn't worry just yet. A friend was a chunky kid all through HS. Like pudgy and with a belly and short. He hit a crazy growth spurt in college and became a bean pole almost overnight just like his dad. Kids grow at different paces. Make sure you are healthy as a family and model good eating habits. If he is hungry he gets extra servings of veg and protein. [/quote]
