It's a little hard to tell without being able to see your diary. What have you been eating in order to get the extra calories? If it's full of empty calories or sodium or fat, that might explain why you are feeling bloated and sluggish.

600-800 a day is definitely not nearly enough calories to maintain health *unless* you have a thyroid problem or other metabolic issue. If you think that may be an issue, you should see a doctor about that.
