http://www.answers.com/topic/malnutrition-treatment =) Other than doing a nutritional analysis, patients are slowly rehabilitated. They start off with a special type of milk. They then switch that to a more protein rich milk. The patient is then weened off to porridges. Most of these special foods can be expensive but considering the amount of time it takes for severly malnourished patients to recover, they are cost effective. For overnutrtioned people, the only solution is to start eating balanced meals at fixed times. Routine is key.
