Anyone having issues holding up their weight

We are giving my uncle plenty of healthy calories, natural fats (avocados, olive oil), complex carbs, and protein, but he is having trouble holding up his weight.

Anyone experiencing this? Any suggestions?

Yes, my hwp has lost weight very easily since parkinson's really kicked in. It has stabilised though. At one stage he used Mass gainer products.

Yes! I have lost 25 lb. (from the 108 I started with.) My doctor sent me for umpteen tests, and thorough them I learned I had Parkinson's Disease. Although I eat healthy food and supplement with whey protein, I have not been able to gain weight.
