Why do people think only teenage boys eat a lot?
I recently read an article about this girl complaining about her teenage son eating a lot, but isn't fat. She claims that her and her five sisters as teenage girls barely EVER ate.

I don't know about you girls, but I sure as heck eat TONS. Although, I am the right weight for my age.

What are your thoughts? :)

answer:
pwahaha. all my guy friends give me crap because i eat so much junk food, but i still have a really good body (not to be conceited). i think all the fat just goes to the right places (ie butt & boobs). i have a really flat stomach and toned legs. it's kind of crazy.
when i get old and my metabolism stops working, i will most likely end up really fat :/

i eat TONS and never gain weight. food is food! i dont want to be a stick model, i wanna have some curves in me! to answer your questions boys eat cuz they need energy. to be healthy if they eat the right stuff and cuter to!

Guys have bigger appetites (better metabolism, burning calories = hungry!). I wasn't a big eater when I was a teen.

You better watch it :) That metabolism shuts off soon and all that crap you thought you were getting away with eating, will catch up.

As teens, we grow the most (besides babies) so therefore need more energy and fuel (aka food)

It's just not boys. It's girls too.
Especially me.

Well, guys just have a big appetite

they never met me
