Though, depending on how old she is-- if she's slender, you might just want to let her be and have her eat unless you think she's getting sick easily from being underweight. Supposedly your fat cells all come from when you're a kid-- but they grow and expand as an adult when you're gaining weight. So the less shit your kid is eating then maybe the less fat cells she'll have as an adult. Also, for females, I think puberty tends to be triggered, among other things, by fat. So if your kid stays slender and super active she'll have her period later on in life and be taller and more slender. However, if your culture values shorter and curvier women, then you can go the other route. It's not going to completely overcome genetics, but I do think it contributes.
