For me, I know I need to eat more if I feel tired, weak, black out/pass out, can't sleep, feel irritable, and/or feel apathetic.0

Hunger.
Light headedness.
Mood change that can't be explained.
More tired than usual.
Cravings that can't be explained, unusual cravings. I am not saying you can't have cravings, but if they are for foods you NEVER eat I think that is odd. Or something that you don't normally crave, it's your body telling you you are lacking in certain nutrients.0 -

Then up those calories, girl. I had those symptoms just 200 calories less than what I am eating now. Up your intake to lose 1/2-1 pound less than you have it set to now. I had to change mine to 1/2 a pound a week instead of 1. I feel SO much better, and the weight is still coming off.0
