I could have eaten one as a fifteen year old girl but I attribute that to my parents heavy encouragement of sports and lack of body shanking compared to other families.
Interesting hypothesis. I went down the rabbit hole on it but couldn’t find supporting evidence (not to discredit your anecdotal experience of course). Seems if anything slightly the opposite on average. See for example “Sexual dimorphism in body size occurs when … living standards are high, and health correlate positively with male/female height ratio” here:

You will never know the hunger of a 15 year old boy unless you were one

I once shared a house with a teen male and an early 20’s man. Absolute food hoovers.
I don’t even know where I put all that food when I was that age. I could eat 5000 calories in a single day and not gain a pound.
I want science to give me back my teenage metabolism.
I bet if I was as active as I was as a teen, I could get relatively close.
