How can you tell if you are malnourished?!

I am malnourished from a digestive disorder called Gastroparesis, I can only eat strained baby fruit!. I don't have any of the symptoms the first contributor mentioned but the Doctors started giving me IV's of vitamins, minerals & electrolytes because I am so malnourished!. My body is pulling all the calcium out of my bones and it hurts to walk on my feet (espeially barefooted) my muscles hurt because the body is pulling all the protein out of my muscles and I am very weak!. I can't lift a gallon of milk, it's too heavy!. Until I started getting the IV's I could not open the lid on a gallon of milk or twist the lid off a bottle of soda (pop)!. I fell asleep all the time, even a couple of hours after getting up from sleeping!. My "nap" would last 3-5 hours, I am always exhausted!. I am anemic, all my electrolytes are below normal, all the vitamins are below normal, one side of my heart enlarged from nutritional deficiencies, I have not been able to smell a thing for 11 months for the same reason and the Drs may never be able to fix me so I can smell again!. I have palpitations all the time as well as headaches from lack of food!. My hair has not fallen out, I still have healthy teeth, I don't have dysentary, as a matter of fact my bowels shut down 7 years ago when I got this horrible disease, I have severe depression but who wouldn't!? These are some of my symptoms and I am malnourished, I've been living on strained baby fruit for 4 1/2 years but one good thing came from all this, I always had high tryglicerides and now they are normal!. I also get uti's frequently and I never did before!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Are you having hair loss!?
Tooth decay!?
Lethargy!?
Dysentery!?

Tally up what you eat in a day and find a caloric calculator online!. You probably need somewhere between 1200 and 3000 calories to maintain health -depending of course on your age and life style!.
