You can be thin eating any type of food. It’s generally just far easier to over-consume junk food, but if she’s not eating too much it won’t inherently lead to weight gain
No, she also shovels it down as most teenagers do.
I assure you that it’s just a matter of your perception. Every study ever performed reveals people have a notoriously bad internal concept of the quantity of their intake, frequently being off by more than double. The problem is even further exacerbated when trying to estimate someone else’s intake
99.9% confident it's calories in calories out
Different metabolisms though...
Yeah that would be the out part.
As a teen I would out eat, in physical quantity, any 2 full grown adults and not gain weight, I was 5'11" @ 125lbs by 16. I could eat several plates of whatever was in front of me, at that time my parents made food, not prepackaged processed crap. Into my 20s I'd sit down and empty a tub of ice cream, not one of them tiny ben & jerrys containers. No weight gain until I hit 28 doing a physical job and went up to 180 lbs of muscle, now I'm 150 ish and can still eat what I want when I want, tho normally I eat to live not live to eat. Calories-in-calories-out, like BMI, is only a part of the whole picture with so many unseen things affecting it, like medicines. And no, being skinny was not an easy ride.
It is most definitely not an easy ride. I have had complete stranger come up to me in the street and lecture me about being thin. I wasn't even underweight. I was normal for my height. Happened recently and I'm way heavier than I used to be and people STILL do it.

IT'S JUST MY HEAVY BONES, OK?
She might be a TOFI.
Sure, maybe. No bad news from her pediatrician so far though.
