My 5 year old eating all the time

My 5 years old son is constantly hungry and is eating every 1 hr. This has been going on for weeks. Is this something I should be concerned about? He is 47.5 inches and 58.8 lbs and now growing a tummy. His overall body is fine and he is very energetic. But lately, he has been eating a lot and always saying he's hungry.

Make sure that the food he has access to is good and nourishing, lots of veg, fruit, protein, if you do not buy into the house the other high carbs etc he will not gain weight, you buy the food its in your control.Make sure he has plenty of exercise .let him snack all he wants to, just make sure the snacks are healthy ...

Well it seems lik ehe might weigh a little more then he should. My son is 5. He's about 46 inches tall. Prob weighs like 46 or 47 lbs. BUT he's pretty lanky. My son has gone through wanting to eat ALL the time too. He still is on and off now. He's growing. What you need to worry about is what you are giving him when he's hungry. And how much.
