A member asked:
Lately i have been hungry like every 2 hours. i'm 16 years old and i do gymnastics once a week...could that be why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is common for active adolescents to have a pretty impressive appetite. As long as you are not gaining weight because of this, and otherwise feel well, i would not be too concerned about it. It is important, however, to still make good food choices (i.e. Choosing a serving of fruit over a bag of cheetos).
