Answer to Question 1

A
An imbalance of nutrients and/or energy (in this case, high intake of some nutrients and low in-take of energy) is called malnutrition. Overnutrition only refers to excessive intake or nutrients and/or energy. Disordered eating refers to unusual eating habits that may or may not lead to some form of malnutrition. Nonnutrition is not a recognized term.
