[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a question for your child’s doctor, who can assess your child’s BMI. Tall kids, muscular kids, and active kids need more calories than their short, sedentary counterparts. My kid ate like a toddler until puberty and was always the smallest in the class. Then started eating man portions at age 13. As for the suggestion to pump your child full of protein to satiate them — no. Kids don’t actually need that much protein. And the obsession with blunting hunger with high protein diets in adults should not be transferred to children. [/quote] You don’t need a doctor to assess BMI. Doesn’t OP have access to a scale, a tape measure, and the internet?[/quote]
