[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP here. I am not on a diet. I look closely at his growth and he is gaining weight. I hope to keep him at the 70th%ile for weight as long as his vertical growth continues. He does not know that I am watching him closely as I do my other kids. He eats a ton of protein since I do want him to max out on height. He says he wants to play basketball or something like that. [/quote] A tween/teen boy should be adding muscle mass as well as height; that means adding weight. If he is underfed, his bone density may also be affected adversely. Muscle and bone weigh a lot, and it's better for a kid's health to be strong than to be particularly thin. [/quote]
