Under nutrition is signs of more serious malnutrition This is when nutritional reserves are depleted and nutrient and energy intake is not sufficient to meet day to day needs or added metabolic stress.

Over nutrition is an excess of nutrient and energy intake over time. In a sense, over nutrition is another form of malnutrition, especially when excess caloric intake produces harmful body weight.
