Question :

Good evening Doc,

I have issues with my weight and body conditions. I am 25 years-old, 168 cm tall and weigh 53 kg. I feel I am underweight when I look myself on the mirror, and all the chest bones are visible. In average, I weigh 50kg, even once 48kg eventhough I eat 3 - 4 times a day. Am I having nutrition disorders? What specialist should I consult to? Thank you.

Answer :

Dear Mr. Ikhwanudin,

Thank you for your question.

According to the BMI Index (BB/TB²= kg/m²), your current nutrition condition is below normal (N.18.5 – 22.9)
Although your eating frequency is sufficient, your food quality and quantity should be evaulated. Therefore, you can consult with Nutritionists at Nutrition and Slim Clinic at GADING PLUIT Hospital.

Hope this information helps.
