Tell her that eating habits may change due to puberty. As the body produces more hormone it naturally needs more energy to do this. She will gain some weight and it will hardly be noticeable. Exercise can help in losing weight. Also tell her that you've been in this stage of your life and that everybody naturally undergoes it as it is a part of growing up. Good luck!

When I was a teenager, I would eat more than my mum and dad put together. I could easily close down a buffet restaurant. I had a very high metabolism and could eat at a buffet restaurant twice a day and never gain weight.

Teenagers are still growing so they need to eat more than adults.

Yes, teenagers generally exercise more than adults, so they eat more without gaining more weight.

Yes, as their bodies change their appetite becomes like a hoover vaccum. They eat anything and everything. It's not how much you eat that is important. It's what you eat.

Of Course!!!! As children grow, they need more food to have energy to do things. The good thing is that their metabolizm is high so they wont become fat easily, no matter how much they eat.

Absolutely. Growing "kids" can be starving one day and not eat much at all the next.
