one person<\/a> is basically training like an athlete. Between boxing, running, the gym, and rugby, he\u2019s burning through calories like it\u2019s his job.<\/p>\nMeanwhile, dinner at home? Everyone gets the exact same portion, no exceptions.<\/p>\n
So while his sister is full, he\u2019s still hungry\u2026and eyeing the snack cabinet like it\u2019s round two.<\/p>\n
I am a teenager and I live in a house with my mum, dad and sister.<\/p>\n
We usually eat together and everyone gets equal portion sizes.<\/p>\n
I am wondering if I would be the a****** if I asked for more food because I live a very active lifestyle (boxing, gym, running, rugby) multiple times a week and I am also a lot bigger than my family (5\u201910 72kg) and I am also still growing.<\/p>\n
Hmmm\u2026<\/p>\n
My sister (who is 18 and 5\u20191) always insists that the portion sizes are exactly equal, which I think is unfair because she lives a sedimentary life style staying inside most of the day.<\/p>\n
I am not satisfied after meals and I usually have to eat a lot of the snacks which my family isn\u2019t happy about.<\/p>\n
So WIBTA if I asked if I could have more food on my plate?<\/p>\n
Reddit largely sided with NTA, with many pointing out that nutritional needs aren\u2019t one-size-fits-all, especially for a growing, highly active teen.<\/p>\n
This person (and most people) agreed it\u2019s reasonable to ask for larger portions rather than compensating with snacks later.<\/p>\n

This person says the same\u2026<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And this person suggests making more food.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Same plate, different fuel tank\u2026no wonder he\u2019s running on empty.<\/p>\n
