[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 13 year old DD has a little tummy but is otherwise lean. She eats a ton of carbs but mostly home cooked stuff and few sweets. [b]She is not the world’s most athletic girl[/b] but she does get adequate exercise. She loves food, and if she likes something, can eat more than me or her Dad at a meal. I have never said anything to her because I don’t want to set up bad relationships with food. But I do sometimes wonder what “normal” looks like. How much and what does your growing teen daughter eat?[/quote] Unless your DD has a fast metabolism which it does not seem as though she does, she likely needs to exercise more. If she is sedentary, the weight is not going to disappear after a growth spurt. My DD went through this at age 9 or 10 but she is athletic. Otherwise, she would struggle with her weight. I let her eat what she wants but know she gets plenty of exercise through her sport.[/quote]
