Brief Answer:
Timebeing depend on appetite stimulants
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Ask your doctor about appetite stimulants and multivitamins and mineral supplements. They can help you eat better than what you are now.
Eating right is important both for physical and mental health, try to see all seven dark colors a day in your plate (green red yellow blue white etc) so that it stimulates your eyes and brain and positive ideas flow in. Tasting 6 types including sweet, sour, pungent, astringent, salt and bitter helps produce good messengers in the brain.
Once you take in the diet these I am sure you would not be malnourished. Simply to start An egg, an XXXXXXX and a vegetable with one main cereal does the trick in each meal.
