Very, very fatigued

I peeked at your diary too and you are eating WAY too little for your workout routines. Have you tried supplimenting? I know some people will say NO! But the reason is, when you are not used to upping calories and nervous about it, sometimes to sneak an extra 200-300 in by drinking a healthy protein shake will help relieve the guilt slowly and also give you some much needed calories. I struggle with overtraining as well, so I know your pain. Much of it is psycological. Also, look at your carb intake. I was also fatigued very badly when i realized I was not eating enough. I have really had a change in energy since I stopped being overly obsessed with cutting carbs. Good luck!0

I know when I cut my calories back to lose some of the fat I am more tired and started struggling more in the gym. I even had to drop my weights. I definitely think its from not eating enough.0

I'm going to disagree. I'm on the app and can't see your diary-but you are most definitely not eating enough. Keep the treats and add in more food. Done deal.[/quote]She's eating a little over 2000 calories a day on average over the last 10 days.
Ah, thanks. Well, when I was that active I ate well over 2000 calories, but that doesn't mean she needs to. I'm still going to say that 500 calories of "junk food" is totally fine.
I would still try upping calories a bit and reducing the exercise. And going to the doctor :-)0 -
Um... sounds to me like you should visit a doctor instead of ask the internet for help. This could be a number of things, but would be best to have your blood run to make sure you're not experiencing these because of a deficiency or illness. Take a couple of walking only days, make sure you're hydrated, and see the doctor, please.0

Eliminate the obvious first. See your doctor and get some blood work done to check for anemia, low blood sugar, and balanced electrolytes.0

Thanks everyone, I'm going to book an appointment with my doctor and relax the exercise a little0

If you go through my checklist, then it becomes obvious when its not enough food and its more overtraining and rest. Theres a specific difference between running out of energy because you havent eaten enough and feeling fatigued becayse you are run down and overtrained or have some other medical problem. test, becayse you should recover quickly if its just food and if you still feel a but funny, then deffo Drs just to check.0
