Is it normal for teenage girls to eat a lot?

Question

Well I have been eating a whole lot lately than before. Before I couldn't even finish a PB&J sandwich without getting full! Now I'm am taking up cross country and after practice I would eat about 2 ham sandwiches, about 10 buffalo wings and an apple pie from McDonalds. And after that I'm STILL hungry! So what is going on?! In conclusion to that, I lost 3 pounds in the past week. (I'm not pregnant. So dont even say that...)

Answer 1

Exercise burns calories. You need to replenish your body somehow. That's part of the reason..other factors:

You are a growing girl haha

Answer 2

You are growing and are getting lots of exercise so you need to eat to maintain that activity level.  It is normal to eat more when you burn more.

Answer 3

Well you might be pregnant...

Answer 4

WELL TRY TO EAT 5 TO 6 MEALS A DAY. 2 TO 3 HOURS SPACED OUT FROM EACH OTHER. ITS NORMAL AS LONG AS YOU WORKOUT ALOT SO YOU WONT GAIN WEIGHT

Answer 5

yes it is very normal i'm a teenager and i am always hungry, when your a teen you need more food then adults do because your body is using alot of energy to grow, you may also have a fast metabolism which causes you to feel hungry quickly after eating, just keep eating like your eating its normal
