Why would a child who has small healthy portions be overweight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Physical activity: Lack of physical activity is a common reason children are overweight. Limit tv and video games, and encourage active play such as riding a bike or other outdoor sports. Participating in these activities as a family will set a good example for your child.
