My BMI is very low, and I have little appetite even when I am hungry. What can I do about it?

A low BMI and poor appetite may be signs of underlying health issues, nutritional deficiencies, or stress. Focus on eating small, frequent meals that are high in calories and protein, and include nutrient-dense foods such as nuts, avocados, eggs, and dairy. Gentle physical activity can help naturally stimulate your appetite. It is important to consult a doctor or dietitian to rule out any medical issues and receive personalised guidance for safe weight gain.
