What Does Ketones In The Urine Mean?

Hi, I want to know if I could be malnourished or if it is something else? I got blood work done a couple weeks ago, and my sugar and everything in the blood work was normal, but I had ketones in my urine. I have started to eat more than I used to and be more healthy at it too. I do not really seem to be gaining weight though...
