[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP, thanks for many of the helpful and some not helpful comments. To answer some questions she’s just over 5’4” and 162 lbs so she does look heavy but is also visibly muscular. She just played two hours of basketball this morning and is in great running cardio shape, her coach rarely takes her out because she is so fast, skilled, and doesn’t get tired. She has 2 siblings who are athletes and our family plan has always been to do a ton of athletics and have lots of foods available at home that they can choose from. Her siblings are not overweight and can metabolize a lot of calories easily so I’m hesitant to say her brother can eat a dozen cookies while she get carrot sticks.[/quote]

5ft 4 in and 162 lbs on a 12 year old is not muscular. Knock it off. [/quote]

Right?  These people are crazy.  My 6’2” tall extremely athletic 13 year old BOY is all muscle and doesn’t have an ounce of fat on him… and he weighs 150…

And OP, just don’t let ANY of your kids eat a dozen cookies!  It’s not good for them, either.[/quote]

Lol. Your son is not “all muscle” at 6’2, 150. He is scrawny. My husband is 6’1” and 185lbs and is not “all muscle” though he is pretty muscular and in great shape. He is thin and has an high metabolism. He has to drink protein shakes after every workout and lift 5 times a week to be muscular otherwise he loses weight. He never gets below 170 (if he slacks off). [/quote]

LOL to you, ya doofus! Your husband is a grown man, and my son is a child who hasn’t even gone through puberty yet…  have you ever even seen a child?[/quote]

Don’t be defensive because I called you out on your scrawny son. He is almost underweight according to his bmi. “All muscle” he is not. Maybe bones.[/quote]

His BMI is over 50th percentile.  Perfectly healthy weight.  It’s not shocking that you can’t calculate BMI either.  Agree with DP upthread, you are most definitely an idiot.[/quote]

This does not mean your son has a muscular physique. Perhaps PP should have phrased it more nicely but 150 at that height is a regular skinny HS kid.[/quote]
