[quote=Anonymous]My 13 year old son has BMI of 15 which I believe puts him as underweight. His pediatrician said he is mid-puberty and due for his growth spurt soon. She really wants him to try to eat as much as he can so he can achieve his growth potential. He eats 3 normal size meals a day with all the food groups and has a snack or two- but never the ravenous appetite I hear teenage boys having. Never getting seconds. I try to give him smoothies with protein, nuts etc. Many times he’s filled from last meal/snack. Anyone else in same boat? Do some boys just not get a crazy big appetite? If not, will it affect growth? [/quote]
