Why do I feel full after only one bite?

How can I make my body want to eat more? I feel full as soon as I start eating, even if I haven’t eaten for 12 hour. I usually don't feel hungry at all, but whenever I do feel extremely hungry, I find that I'm not hungry anymore after taking my first bite. I don't even need to swallow it in many cases before I start to feel full. I am a 26 year old male, 5’9”and 100 lbs.
Answer
The symptoms you describe fall under the medical umbrella of having a “poor appetite”. Poor appetite has many possible causes, including emotional stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental disorders, and physical problems of the gastrointestinal track, vital organs, metabolism, and cancer. You must see a doctor at once because you are severely compromised.Your BMI is only 14.8, which is seriously low and may justify inpatient treatment.
