I am 17, not even fully grown and every time I eat about two hours later it is like I have not eaten and am once again famished?? Even if I just ate a large meal! My day is not too hard, just swimming a bit, cleaning, and looking after toddler sibling a lot! So why am I suddenly like this?!?!
That's often normal for a teenager. When my youngest grandson was about that age he used to be able to eat a dozen weetbix at a sitting and my early teenage grand daughter eats more than most adults.
Fortunately most youngsters' appetites settle down or there'd be a lot more bankrupt parents.
im a lot more hungry if im sittin around doin nothin than if im up & active
Maybe you have a faster metabolism than a lot of people? I wish I had the kinda metabolism now that I had when I was twelve years old!
Exercising makes you burn calories more quickly so you are hungry sooner, you mentioned swimming and chores. If you aren't gaining weight you could have a naturally high metabolism
Do you gain weight? I’m constantly hungry and if I wanted to I could just eat non stop all day and never feel full but I have to fight really hard to control what I eat so I can stay skinny.
Not sure how normal because this never happens to me but it could be an issue with your diet, which you can check whether your getting enough nutrients. also you might just be a growing boy needing a lot of food.
