you're probably going through puberty and to grow you need more energy, which means you need more food. a while ago, i was soo hungry all the time, i swear i almost went over to my neighbors house and killed their chickens with my bare hands, multiple times

I think it is because you are growing so much, happened to me!! Don't worry about it, just keep active and exercise!!

if you work out a lot then there is no problem because your metabolism increases as you get bigger in muscle mass. like my older brother, he is always hungry and he can eat an entire chicken if he could. whats funny is that he looks a little bit green and the way his hair is but when he takes off his shirt he looks like the HULK! but at least he doesn't take steriods.

it's normal. as your body increases its muscle mass during puberty and grows everywhere else ur gonna be alot more hungry. but maybe not the poptarts, eat something healthy so u can eat alot but not regret it when you can jiggle ur stomach later. also, people add weight in fat during puberty so if ur stomach does get a bit bigger its fine since ur supposed to eat more. and do get out and work out/do cardio.

If you're hungry, it means you need to eat, probably because you're growing. You may get a little round at points, and still feel hungry all the time, but usually you grow right afterwards and thin back out. Man, when I was 6-11, I ate constantly, I was always ordering more than my friends when they'd be over for a play-date and my parents would take us to get fast food for lunch. But when I was done growing at about 13 it was like my stomach shrank to a third it's former size, and I just wasn't hungry anymore. Just watch out for frequently eating when you're not hungry, or eating past the point where you feel full, those aren't good things to do. Your body should take care of the rest. :)

Its normal, your body needs more energy to grow.

you are growing, exactly the same appened to me when i had my biggest growth spurt, if you only started eating heaps recently, then you are about to grow
