Default 6 month old is sooo thin!

my girl is so skinny to me. Her body weight seems fine when I weigh her because she's so muscular in her front end, but she looks like a starving dog from the back. She's had blood work. Healthy as a horse and she eats a lot! I feed Blue buffalo large breed puppy. About 5.5 cups a day (which is more than the bag recommends). She always acts like she's hungry. I never have issues with her eating habits. She does eat very fast though (regardless of the fact she's fed in a slow feeder bowl)...could this be a factor? Is she not absorbing nutrients because of how quickly she eats? Anyone else have this problem? She really does need a little more meat on her bones. I know she's a growing girl, and that probably plays into it. Just thought I'd check up on the situation.
