Low to No energy!!!

Are you getting enough sleep?

I had this same problem a few years ago. I had a bunch of blood tests and it was determined that I have iron-deficient anemia, which causes the fatigue. Honestly, I would have your doctor check you out to be on the safe side, but I would try adding in more iron to your diet.

I don't think you are eating enough, 1200 is the min for a small sedentry woman and your not sedentry calories

Go to the tools section and figure out your BMI:

Generally someone with a BMI over 32 can do a 1000 calorie a day (2 lbs a week) deficit
With a BMI of 30 to 32 a deficit of 750 calories is generally correct (about 1.5 lbs a week)
With a BMI of 28 to 30 a deficit of 500 calories is about right (about 1 lb a week)
With a BMI of 26 to 28 a deficit of about 300 calories is perfect (about 1/2 lb a week)
and below 26... well this is where we get fuzzy. See now you're no longer talking about being overweight, so while it's still ok to have a small deficit, you really should shift your focus more towards muscle building, and reducing fat. This means it is EXTRA important to eat your exercise calories as your body needs to KNOW it's ok to burn fat stores, and the only way it will know is if you keep giving it the calories it needs to not enter the famine response (starvation mode).

I have no energy in the mornings! Until my shower that is.
I try to keep waking up early to work out but havent been able to drag myself out of bed.
Good luck!

I take one a day vitamins.....either the energy vitamin or the vitamin that helps boost your metabolism and energy level it works really good for me:)

It cheap and you can but them anywhere i got mine at walmart... 60 pills for like 5 bucks

gp back to green tea caffeinated - Give me more a boast then coffee

double post :blushing:

Your food looks really good and healthy. But it seems that you're lacking long lasting complex carbs.

I eat low GI and low GL, it's pretty similiar to how you eat, but we eat complex carbs. Like have some oatmeal, quinoa, rye crackers or bread, seeds, nuts, beans, barley, and oats. It'll give you long lasting energy, that also helps you stay full feeling.

You are on a 1200kcal diet.... That's not a lot of energy, so it's not easy! XD

Forget about coffee, just eat 5 times a day, and time it so you refill your energy when you're running out of glucose! I find eating apples useful for that purpose!

If you can't adapt your diet to be able to not feel fatigued, consider increasing your kcal daily allowance :flowerforyou:

You most likely are not eating enough calories for your body. I would suggest using LIVESTRONG.COM and determining your BMR. You use the BMR tool and it will do all the calculations for you. If you are not exercising, pick either Sendentary for your activity level or Active, depending on your amount of normal activities in a day.
I also know of a meal replacement shake that is phenomenal! It costs $4.00/day and will regulate your body and give you great energy! I use it on a daily basis and have been doing so for about 3 months. I absolutely LOVE it! You can add me/ message me and I will give you the webpage I use.
It is important too, to make sure you are eating meals 5 times a day. They should be based of course on your needed calories for the day. For example, if I do not work out, my caloric goal is 1500/day so I eat 5 meals at 300 calories each. I eat every 2-3 hours! When I work out and burn 500 calories, I add a meal somewhere in my day, or add those calories and make my last 2 meals more like 500 calories each.
I hope this helps! If you need anything, please feel free to message me and I will do all I can to help you! Good luck!

You need some good carbs for energy, along with enough protein. Sounds like you're making good choices, but don't discount those good grains, brown rice with veggies and chicken is a great supper. Add some quinoa in a salad for lunch... some whole grain bread works great with some natural peanut butter. Those good fats are also essential for making the machine that is your body work the best it can.

Make sure you're hitting your calorie goal as well, it can be hard when you try and cut out all the "bad" stuff.... there's really not much "bad" food... everything in moderation is my motto.

Maybe try taking a multivitamin
