malnourished, under nourished, under fed
You would think that a chubby person is well-nourished, but that's not necessarily true. Of course it is obvious that a person grossly underweight is malnourished. A well-nourished person is one who is eating the righ kinds and quantities of food. You can't really tell a well-nourished person always by his looks. Blood work will often tell you more.
an adult who gets less energy from food than he or she needs
Under malnourished means that a person is too skinny and not eating the right amount of food. Over nourished means a person is overweight or obese because they are eating too much of the wrong foods.
You should hyphenate well nourished and well developed IF followed by a noun - i.e., "well-nourished and well-developed man" or "well-nourished and well-developed patient". If the noun is before these, then you would not hyphenate - i.e., "The patient is well nourished and well developed". This would also be true for the following: "well-healed scar" or "the scar is well healed". Answer provided by a medical transcriptionist with 18 years experience.

It would depend on the nourishment in question. They can be of the body, meaning well fed with healthy foods or it can be of the mind, meaning study or mental exercise that does not frustrate or stress, but generally "well nourished" refers to the former.
