Why sometimes my appetite increase very much that i overeat and sometime loss in appetite that i skip meals , normal for 17yrs old male ?????

Yes: Absolutely normal during the teen years. You are having hormonal/growth changes..muscles "bulking up" etc. etc. Not to mention the psychological pressures which face every teenager. NOT TO WORRY. Get a physical from your HealthCare Professional and some routine blood tests. This will help reassure you! Hope this helps Dr Z
