First of all
Make it clear
It is weight loss or failure to gain wait
We need to go for the cause
Common causes are related to your GI system
Like less absorption of proteins and vitamins as in worm infestation
Sometimes vit d def ; low serum iron is the cause
Hence needs a detailed history and work up
Eating costly proteins will further empty your pocket without any gain
