The prevalence of underweight among adolescent girls aged 16-18 years in Bengkulu province was recorded at 4.8%, despite this being a critical period marked by the second most rapid growth after infancy. Being overweight adversely affects brain development, concentration, and energy levels, decreasing physical activity. One strategy to improve body weight involves supplementing additional food, such as cookies. Cookies are a sweet cake made from wheat flour. The research aimed to determine the weight gain of underweight adolescents by giving them fish gaguk cookies. Employing a quasi-experimental design, participants received 80 g of fish gaguk cookies daily and 80 g of fish gaguk cookies three times a week for 14 days. Sixty-one underweight teenagers underwent intervention with fish gaguk cookies, with average compliance of 92.2% and 93.4% in the two treatment groups, respectively. The increase in average body weight after consuming fish gaguk cookies for 14 days in both treatment groups was statistically significant (p-value 0.001).
