A member asked:
Is there anything i can get to increase my appitite i only manage to eat 1 small meal a day sometimes i don't eat at all i just don't feel hungry?

Yes...: First, you'll want to be sure you are evaluated by your physician to rule out any important underlying medical causes for low appetite. If there are none found, then simply increasing your calorie usage through increased activity such as aerobic exercise will increase your metabolism and thus your appetite. Also, eating small meals throughout the day may increase metabolism/appetite.
