What does eating less mean?

Poor food intake means poor appetite and low food intake. Loose stools mean that stools are not formed, become mushy or watery, and may be accompanied by increased stools. Poor stools are normally caused by weak spleen and stomach, or dampness of spleen and stomach. Due to weak spleen and stomach, insufficient transportation and transformation cause stomach loss and reduced food intake. Spleen is weak, clear yang does not rise, turbid yin sinks and shows loose stools. Or due to dampness of spleen and stomach, transportation and transformation loss shows loss of appetite, resulting in less food. Because the spleen and stomach are clear and turbid, loose stools appear. Treatment requires invigorating spleen and eliminating dampness.
