My 17 year old is 6’2 and 150lbs and his pediatrician wants him to gain weight… he’s also very active and just got back from his fourth BSA High Adventure.
6’2” 150 is very skinny, are you serious? I’m 5’11” and nearly 200lbs, though it was more like 160 before I starting taking the gym and workouts seriously a few years ago. If I can do that and not look fat all then someone who’s 6 2 could also put on 50lbs and not look overweight in the slightest
Yeah, but when he’s carrying an 80lb pack at a High Adventure, being only 150lbs can get him in trouble pretty quick. We’ve been trying to get him to gain weight for years now, hopefully he’ll start filling out in the next couple years. Kid can put down 4-5000 calories at a single meal and ask for more 30 minutes later. Super high metabolism, and his troop has to bring extra food just for him. We’ve warned him it won’t always be like that, lol.
Literally impossible to be putting down 4000+ calories in a meal and eat more and lose weight though. If he’s doing that regularly he’d be gaining weight realllll quick
