Spanish term or phrase: reservas
Ok again this is a sketch for a comic on healthy lifestyle habits for kids, about a kid who's overweight. I'd like to follow the game here and play on words that's happening with the term "reservas" but not sure that works in English. Anyone can suggest an equivalent for this? (its for teenagers in the UK, thanks

Que si no come no le pasará nada.
¡Tiene reservas de sobra!”
Viñeta 6
“Por lo que me han dicho, tú también tienes reservas, ¡pero de novios de Internet!”
Viñeta 7
“¿Te hablo de las novias que tienes tú?, ¡Ay perdona si no tienes ninguna!”
“¿Qué novios de Internet?”
