Question regarding a healthy weight for an 18-year-old male, 5 8 and 1/2, and only 116 pounds. He actually grew half an inch in the last year and remained the same weight. He eats small portions, whenever he eats a full meal he complains about how full he is. Even when he has a small portion of something high calorie he complains about how much he ate. His parents are very controlling. He doesn t eat at all when he is particularly upset. I m concerned he may be anorexic. I am not sure though, he does eat candy and even has pizza and chips when they re available. He doesn t do any noticeable calorie counting, but regardless of what he eats it almost always remains in the 1200-1300 calorie area. He does have a small frame, though, which should be taken into account. It s just, I can feel his ribs through his puffy coat... when he s shirtless I can see his ribs, collar-bones and hips more defined than I think they maybe ought to be. I dunno, he has next to no fat on him and even his muscle seems... less in the past year or so. He used to be a runner, if that s of any import? He hasn t run in a few months though. Anyway, just looking for a professional opinion... I m concerned about mah boy. :(
