    No idea, but maybe you are due to a visit to the doctor.

    It's bound to be some disruption to your endocrine system or some type of anemia, etc. that diet and exercise can bring up. Particularly what you were doing! Yeah, you'll need some blood levels checked. Sorry :( It's probably relatively easy to rectify, so just go get it done :)

    It's hard on a good day to get the nutrients you need on 1200 calories. Folks need to remember that. I'm iron anemic to the degree now that I have to take icky pills for 6 months to build up my blood marrow stores! I wish I'd eaten enough iron all along (and my period caused it, too). The megadose pills hurt my stomach! Vitamins, etc matter... very much!

    ^QFT OP seriously get off the forums and go see a medical professional as these could be symptoms of something serious...my guess is serious malnutrition BUT I am NOT a doctor!!

    ETA:Do you read the warning at the bottom of the page, if not here it is...

    I had the same problem. Iron and biotin supplements have helped.

    Please do not suggest iron supplements. Excess iron is very toxic and supplements should only be taken by someone who has a demonstrated deficiency.

    Easy bruising is a sign of various deficiencies or blood disorders - could be diet or could be something else. Take a diet break and see your doctor.

    No. Actually, you didn't. You didn't mention anything about a doctor at all but gave out your solution for your problem that may or may not have anything to do with the OPs condition. That's a bit irresponsible.

    OP - Go see a doctor ASAP and don't take any medical advice off of this board.
