Question:
I've always known my son was ultra skinny for his age. Now I've confirmed from this site he's super ultra skinny. I feed him a well-balanced diet-- a bit heavy on the meat and starches to try to beef him up a bit, but his metabolism is always on overdrive. I understand that kids all develop differently, but any healthy tips on adding SOME weight are appreciated!

My son is a slinky as well. I've worried about him eating enough food and staying healthy (as well as getting picked on)--I get it. But I read that the average person only needs to eat what fits in the palm of their hand every meal. So we're all probably overeating. Even our kids. Keep tabs with your doctor, I'm sure they'll grow at the pace their bodies were meant to develop. Hopefully they'll enjoy the same benefits when they get older.

By eating more the only weight they will gain is fat unless they are exercising too. If you want them to not get picked on find an activity that will make them work hard. Something they enjoy. Talk to a licensed nutritionist about their diet and find things that will help build their muscle mass for their physical health and their self confidence for their mental health. Don't get them into the habit of eating anything but what is healthy in portion and in quality of food. Eventually everyone's metabolism slows down and once it does if they still have the habit of eating junk or too much food they will get fat quick. Habits developed over years are hard to break.
I prefer the martial arts of some kind to help with confidence and with fitness. Plus, they are less likely to be picked on this way as well. Or at least if they are they will be more prepared.
