Hunger vs Malnutrition

Hunger is not eating for a few days. Money runs out on Sunday. Food runs out on Monday. Paycheck does not arrive until Friday.

Malnutrition: It does not matter how much or how often you eat. If the nutrition is not in the food, then your body can not absorb the nutrition, then nutritional diseases appear, i.e. scurvy, beriberi etc.
