Question

You think that your niece is a very beautiful 15-year-old. At 5'5", she weighs 130 pounds, which her physician says puts her in the middle of the healthy BMI range. However, you have noticed that she has become a very picky eater and rarely finishes her meals. Based on what you've read about adolescent eating habits and weight, why might she be doing this? She has already gone through her growth spurt and is probably not hungry. She is probably trying not to gain weight or is actively dieting. She probably has a thyroid problem and has no appetite. She might have a hormone deficiency that leaves her not interested in eating.
