A member asked:
I'm wondering are undernutrition and overnutrition forms of malnutrition?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Overnutrition doesn't necessarily guarantee good source of nutrients. You can have overnutrition in the form of fat and sugar without the vitamins and nutrients that would come from eating fruits, vegetables, legumes, beans
