Why does my daughter weight 40-50lbs. more than others in her grade if she plays sports 60mins everyday and eats healthy?

More in than out: Despite lots of activity kids who gain weight like this are taking in more calories than they burn off. Some people don't burn off calories as efficiently as others. But the bottom line is that more going in than burned off. Hidden calories in lots of things people may not realize: juice, sugared sodas, iced tea, higher fat milk, etc. Please discuss with dr, consider wellness program if available.
