    Your body can function just fine on 1200 calories at your height and weight. (it eats the storage first) If you asked your doctor for weight loss advise that is probably the calorie goal he would set for you. Fatigue can be a lot of things from a nutrient deficiency to a sleep breathing problem, to depression, to an infection, to a thyroid issue, gallbladder issue. Go get blood work and know for sure where the issue is before you sabotage your diet for temporary relief.

    Sorry I didn't read all of your responses..so if I sound reperative I am sorry.... But I do know that protein in the morning will help increase your energy levels.. A shake high in protein will help.. Also increasing your calorie intake will also help thru out the day...when you work out your burning calories replace those with Healthy calories... Need motivation? Or any advise I am here... AL

    I had the same trouble and was told to eat a little sugar like 1/2 banana a day and it helped.
    I was on a almost zero sugar diet for perhaps 6 weeks when my BP dropped too low.
    Feel fine now and lost 28 pounds in about 3 months on the keto diet and feel great.

    You might have set your calories a little too low. According to Scooby http://scoobysworkshop.com/calories-burned/ your RMR is 1488, which is what your body just needs to function. I did enter in an office job (mostly sedentary) into the settings, if your work is more active, you might need more.

    If you're eating 1200 and exercising, that's less than 1488. Most likely not sustainable nor good for your health.

    Don't forget to drink water. Dehydration can make you groggy.

    Take the day off. Don't exercise. Plan your food out so you're eating to maintenance and rest. If you do exercise eat the calories. Sometimes all you need is a break.
