You are likely tired because you are averaging about 800-1200 calories a day, and eating a lot of take out.
I eat between 5-75 g carbs - grain free carbs, all vegetables and some fruits and I'm rarely "tired". I do use the restroom often as I am hydrating more.

Tired due to lack of carbs and your body is relying alot more on protein - which makes you pee.

When I first started lower carb eating, I had the same thing happen to me. Feeling a little tired lasted for a week or so for me, and I also had increased urination. This sounds like normal stuff for low carb induction.

The first phase of the Atkins diet, called the induction phase, limits your carb intake to less than 20 g a day, which is very low compared to the average of 300 g a day consumed by most Americans. This very low level of carbohydrate intake is recommended during the initial phase of the Atkins program to help you start losing weight quickly and killing your carbohydrate cravings within a few days. However, switching to the induction phase of the Atkins diet can be a drastic dietary change that can cause side effects.
Induction Flu

The side effects often experienced by Atkins dieters when first getting started with a low-carb diet are referred to as the induction flu. Just like a flu, these symptoms are usually mild and resolve by themselves within a few days. Feeling tired, fatigued and lethargic are among the most common side effects experienced during the initial phase of the Atkins diet, but other dieters may also suffer from headaches, irritability and constipation.

Carbohydrate Withdrawal

Carbohydrate withdrawal is one of the reasons why you may feel so tired when starting following an Atkins diet. More than half of the calories consumed on a standard American diet are provided by carbohydrates and cutting them out of your diet forces your body into using new metabolic pathways. Instead of relying on carbohydrates for energy, your body has to learn how to efficiently burn fat, which comes from both your diet and body stores. This process can take a few days, during which time your cells are not getting as much energy as before. This makes you feel tired.
Dehydration

Dehydration is common in dieters when first eating the Atkins way. Restricting your carbohydrate intake results in a loss of excess water from your body, due to the naturally diuretic effect of low-carb diets. If you do not drink enough to compensate the fluid loss, you can become dehydrated; fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of dehydration. Other symptoms associated with the Atkins induction flu are also the result of dehydration.
Alleviating the Symptoms

When starting on the Atkins diet, a bit of patience is needed to allow your body to fully adjust to it. During this period, ensure you get enough protein and fat in your diet to help smooth out the transition by supplying your body with enough energy. Staying hydrated is also important to alleviate or prevent fatigue. Aim for eight glasses of water a day. The Atkins diet also suggests supplementing your diet with either 1/2 tsp. of salt, 2 tbsp. of soy sauce or 2 cups of broth a day during the induction phase to balance your electrolytes and keep you hydrated. Consult your doctor first if you take blood pressure medications or have been told to reduce your sodium intake.

it sounds like a uti or a form of diabetes....schedule a doctor visit today

I noticed that you food calorie for the day yesterday was 872. Do you think that might be the reason for being tired?

* pregnancy
* diabetes

Please get them both checked.

You're probably tired because you keep waking up to pee. And carbs make you retain more water, as most delicious things do, so it would make sense to release more if you've reduced them. But I'll go with do the pee in a cup trick for your doctor if you're concerned about it.

ETA: I didn't read responses before I posted. The general consensus is you're pregnant.

You're not eating enough & you need to see a doctor.

also I did drop my carb intake by a lot....so 100 carbs a day is low for me.

You have been under 100 carbs exactly once in the past week. You're averaging at least 150.

Sounds like you are pregnant.

You barely eat... and you started drinking a lot more water. Gee, what on earth could be causing you to be tired and pee a lot?

low carbs makes you pee alot more, not a girl but i know a bit about the whole pregnancy, doesnt sound like your pregnant. Try increasing your carb intake KETOSIS causes frequent urination and just an overall low carb diet does as well...
