My son

howie4four

My 17 year old son ia freaking me out. For the past year and a half he has been a fitness nut. Nutrition has been hit and miss. He runs 4 to 5 miles a day--hasn't missed a day since June and only occasionally before that. He lifts 3 to 4 times a week We had a college visit on the 26th of October. He had hit his goal weight of 150 lbs (he's 6'0") the night before we went to the college visit. 150 on him is very thin. Too thin, I think. But since the 26th of October he has been pigging out....really eating like he never eats. Says he's gained 15 lbs. He's a great kid...doesn't drink, smoke, gets straight As.....never given me 5 seconds of trouble.
But this BIG gain in a short amount of time worries me. Addictive behavior runs on ym husbands side of the family.....my brother in law is an alcoholic, my sister in law is aneroxic....I grew up in a family of girls and we were always dieting.
He still looks skinny--not as boney as he did on the 26th...but skinny.

Any thoughts or opinions on what could be going on?

Ask him if he wants to have diabetes which can lead to renal failure by pigging out on high carbohydrate foods and unhealthy food options.

I hope he will keep the bodyfat% in healthy range. Its hard to lose weight.

Find out if there's something going on in his life that he is dealing with by eating. Or is he gaining to be more muscular/ is he pigging on good food or crap food?
