You may be going : thru a growth spurt when there's increased metabolic and energy needs. If so, it's not uncommon to be eating more through a growth spurt. However if you are not experiencing that and find you're eating too much, and can't stop eating, then you may need to see your PCP to have your endocrine system checked, especially your thyroid. Sometimes in hyperthyroid conditions, polyphagia is seen.
