How to "diet" without feeling so tired all the time?

Visit doctor and get bloodwork.

Actually I used to have iron deficiency anemia a few years ago. Could that be it??? I think I eat enough iron in my food though.

Visit doctor and get blood work. For all you know it could be a thyroid issue. We are not medical professionals.

YES! Iron deficiency anemia would make you feel exactly like this. I have it and when i need iron i feel like complete crappola and am zapped of any energy.

Edit: so in other words... GO TO THE DOCTOR

Please eat more protein

1. see a doctor

2. see a doctor

3..... yes, see a doctor!

You get vit D from the sun, not much from dairy. I am deficient so take a supplement You are having a pretty bad processed dinner though, try to stay away from processed foods as much as possible!

If you are tired all the time, it may be that you are sick. You should check with your doctor. You may be eating too few calories for your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) and activity level but it could also mean you are not getting enough nutrients from WHAT you eat. Since your diary isn't open I couldn't take a peek at your diet. If you want me to look and lead you to some information, give me a holler. I'm a retired librarian. Getting folks to the information they need is the sunshine of my life.

Thank you! But actually my diary consist of "quick added calories" so what I eat isn't written there.

But here's what I usually eat.

Breakfast: cereals with skimmed milk or cheese sandwich

Lunch: Chicken breast + 1 or 2 cups of rice + Veggies or salad + juice

Snack: fruit + cake or candy

Dinner: chicken nuggets and bread

Later: maybe yogurt.

I mean yeah....on 1400 calories you can do better than this....which is most certainly contributing to how you're feeling. Seems that there is a lot of room for improvement here.....which does not have to mean forever, but give yourself a fighting chance. Quality of calories does play a role in how we feel. Also start weighing, measuring, and logging properly. Hit your macros and I bet you will see a difference. Get more protein.

With that being said, if you had problems in the past, do go see your doctor to rule out any medical issues.

Definitely go see a doctor. You may be getting enough iron and vitamin D in your foods, but your body might not be absorbing them correctly. It could also be vitamin B. A deficiency in vitamin B causes a person to be tired as well. I work in family practice and that is usually the main culprit of lack of energy. You will never know unless you get the blood tests to find out. Since I started eating right and exercising I have a ton of energy - before I was lacking energy, so that should be the case for most of us...

If for some reason you can't get to the doctor to get the blood test, try getting sub-lingual vitamin B12 supplements - your body absorbs them more efficiently. Hope this helps a little.

If that's your daily food intake you could do way better on your choices. Also have you figured out your BMR? 1400 may not be enough especially if you are eating things like rice, cake, and chicken nuggets.

to check for iron on here just go under settings and add iron that will tell you if your eating enough iron.
