I’ve been on this weight loss journey for months now, going to the gym 5-6 days a week and tracking what I eat on MFP. I have it set to 1500cals a day, but I’ve always looked at that as a maximum instead of the goal. Two weeks ago, I got a little too ahead of myself, and made changes in my diet to where I was only eating about 1000calories a day. I carried on as usual for about a week, still jogging 30 minutes a day and having successful weightlifting sessions. I was feeling alright and was seeing significant progress on the scale. About a week from yesterday, though, it hit me. I was feeling super sluggish from the moment I woke up, and knew that this was me feeling the effects of not hitting my minimum calories. I spent the next few days eating a little more, at around 1300cals and made sure to include at 100g of protein, but I still felt completely drained all throughout my days. My job is not super physically demanding, but it’s enough to where I’m struggling to make it to the ends of my shifts. I’ve cut out jogging for the time being, and have eaten at 1500 calories for the past few days, but I still feel completely drained. Does anyone have any advice how to counteract this feeling? Caffeine does nothing for me, and I feel like I’m almost over eating now.
