[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yikes, that is really light. My son is 5 foot and 85 lbs, and I can see his ribs when he walks around with his shirt off. I also have to order him special "slim" sized pants. He does have larger shoulders, but I can't imagine him weighing 15 lbs less and being taller.

My boy is slim/skeletal. He eats an insane amount and it active. He is 11, so is just starting to get shoulders and chest - but no where near filling out. Both his dad and myself are lean. So it is genetics. Dad would be described as a beanpole build (very tall, lean). Pediatrician looks at his dad and has zero concerns. He eats what he needs. Pants are a NIGHTMARE to but. He has an 8 year's old waist but the length for a 12 year old.[/quote]

That's all fine and good, but I don't think it is helpful to OP.  It's not what most kids should be striving for, even if it is healthy for your own child in light of his particular genetics.[/quote]

Not OP, but a 5 foot 85 pound kid is stocky.  I would think football player/rugby at that weight - and yes, would be surprised if fast.[/quote]
