[quote=Anonymous] When my boy was 11 he routinely ate two hamburgers at a meal. I was shocked how he could put food away. It went on that way for about 18 months, then at his next doctor's appointment, I found he'd gained 3 pounds during the year, and grown 4 inches. He was right in the 85 percentile for height and weight, as he'd always been. A couple of years later, I was again shocked when I found he had gained 25 pounds in the year, and only grown another 2 inches. But, he remained in that 85 percentile for height and weight. Teens take on calories so they can grow. Simple. But 15-year-old is now back down to one hamburger at a meal. I'm expecting another growth spurt soon. [/quote]
