Okay, here's the deal...

I'm 16, I'm 6'2, and I weigh just under 160 pounds. I run, and do some moderate weights at my school gym.

Thing is, I absolutely cannot stop eating. I'm hungry pretty much whenever I'm awake. I'll chow down 3-4 times what everyone else in my family eats, then about 1-2 hours later I'll need more food.

My question:
Is something wrong with me? Or is this normal? By the time I hit lunch at school, I feel like I might die if I don't get food haha.

Okay, thanks! I was almost a little worried lol. And yeah, I eat pretty healthy. My mom always cooks with lots of vegetables, homemade bread, etc. We try to have as little processed food as possible, and we eat more fish and chicken then say, beef. And we raise our own pork, so no growth enhancers!

6'2" 160? You're a bean pole! And you're just hitting a growth spurt. Nothing to be worried about. In fact, the exercise you're doing is just making you need more food and energy. Back when I was in high school, I was easily consuming 4000+ calories and 30g of protein a day and I was 5'11" 180 lbs. You may be growing taller, filling out, or both, but you'll likely be feeding a hollow leg for a year or two at least.

Correct, you are normal. Now if you start gaining a lot of weight (fat) and you still find yourself eating like that, you have a problem. But as you describe it it is normal and how you should be at this point.

Lol. Don't even get me started. I only weighted 120lbs my 9th and 10th grade years and was an inside linebacker (undefeated freshman squad ftw!!)......I was killing meals and everything else I could get past my jaws like tomorrow was the end of the world. Plus I worked at Taco Bell! My standard after practice meal was 6 soft tacos, one beef burrito and one burrito supreme...oh, and a 32oz soda. When me and my boys were eating together after practice we'd have a contest to see who could put all that away the fastest. Lol. Good times.

Yep, sounds a little familiar. Problem was, I didn't have an appetite back then. With football, wrestling, and track I was always exercising but always tired and couldn't figure it out. Until I got this weight gainer shake that had like 800 calories and 17g protein per serving. I slammed 2-3 of those a day plus normal food and then I started feeling better.

Haha! I know how you feel! Im 18 and still eating our family out of house and home!

I was 5'10 165 lbs my freshaman year. Now my senior year I'm 6' 195 lbs. Ive been hitting the weights hard the past couple of winters for football and eating all the food really helps out if you want to get stronger.

My grade was undefeated in in 7th 8th and 9th grade year. I got moved up to varisty my sophmore year to play LB. Now this year we are struggling a bit at 2-2.
