a couple days ago I cut my calories kind of drastically (went from averaging 2300/day to like 1800/day) and also increased my exercise (went from around 1.5 hours/day to 2.5 hours/day). according to my watch and calorie counts, I’ve been in a deficit of about 600 (burning 800-1000 calories through exercise). I’ve also been feeling just pretty low energy, tired, weak, and dizzy, but I’m unsure if this is because of this new diet change.
for context, I’m a 5’4F age 19 weighing about 120 lb (I know I don’t need to lose weight medically but that’s not what’s important). these symptoms seem to correlate perfectly with my new diet changes. the only reason I’m questioning this is because I’m a female of average height and I feel that I shouldn’t have all these ill side effects at 1800 a day when some people are thriving off 1200 a day, so what gives? I’m also trying to increase my calories back to where I was before but it’s giving me a ton of anxiety and I just want to know if this diet is most likely causing it or if it’s something else and there’s no point in trying to increase calories and cut down on exercise
