The most simplistic manor is assessing symptoms such as fatigue, loss of period ( in women ), and low body fat %. The way a physcian would find if it is malnutrition is a simple blood test ( A Blood panel, but if it case is extreme possiblly a CBC aswell ), even taking mutlivitamins cannot fool the test.
