I also lost weight with the MAC. I went from 130 to 103 and also had loss of appetite. I drank Ensure Plus, 2 a day, and that really helped with getting the weight back on. I also ate a little bit often since I couldn't eat much at one sitting. Once I got back to 125 I quit the Ensure and I have been holding at 125.

low weight also gives you extra points (which is bad) in the
"bronchiectase severety index" (BSI) considering the big
European EMBARC database.
This is regardless of MAC, which is rare in Europe.

Low weight is also a risk factor on hospitalisation for
exacerbations.
