Proteins do, our bodies need healthy fats for nutritional reasons. Avoid trans fats, but if you are talking height wise: calcium and proteins help you grow taller, but fats help you grow wider:) Growth is not directly controlled by fat, it is controlled by the release of hormones from the pituitary glands mainly and growth may also be affected by posture and physical activity. Fat does indirectly affect growth because fat is the body's main source of energy and without it, there would be little to no movement and activity. Think of it like this, fat comes from food and no matter how much food you eat, you will get some fat (unless the food has no fat: like water) and if you don't eat you wil not get any fat but eventually you will die, obviously stunting growth XD. Now, this is fat, the noun; BEING fat is another thing. That would stunt your growth because it impends you from participating in physical activities as well as adds weight to your bones and causes them to not grow as much upward because there is too much weight holding it down. Having too much fat basically makes you grow from left to right; not up and down. ;) My final answer to you is yes, fat does help you grow but too much can decelerate growth.
