macro change

So I just adjusted my macros to 35 carb 35 protein and 20 fat. It has worked well to spike weightloss after no changes for 3 months, but my problem is I am unbearably tired and have huge headaches. I am usually a daily exerciser but I'm too tired/ have headache that makes me not want to do it. Is this temporary? It's been a week since the change. I also gave up sweets for lent seasons so I'm sure this adds fuel to the fire. Need some advice.

you may be at too low of a caloric deficit. depending on your level of progress your TDEE may have increased due to muscle gains. more muscle burns more calories even in a sedentary state. might try to bump your cals by 1-200 per day and see if that helps.0

You're missing 10% somewhere. That only equals 90.0 -
