All signs of calorie restriction

Those are all signs you weren't getting enough calories. Single biggest mistake eating any 80-10-10 style. It can be tricky. I've never recommended go fully raw or vegan btw. I don't.

To avoid running into trouble, the recommended calorie minimums are:

Females = at least 2,500 cal per day
Males = at least 3,000 cal per day


Case in point, from a female nutritionist athlete who tried it and said it failed her:

"Why 80/10/10 Sucks - SaraJaneNutritionist
Published on Jun 26, 2012

I did 80/10/10 for 4 days, and found out the hard way that it does not mix with high intensity exercise.

So you see, she was about 500 calories short for even the minimum calories recommended per day for a women and it's recommended by the 30bad site that a female doing high intensity exercise should at least get 3,000 cal and up, so this girl was at least a 1,000 cal short per day for what she wanted to do with it.

She also has the worst 80-10-10 diet I've ever seen. Milk, pretzels, and wheat thins for a high intensity athlete? No wonder she totally bonked. And she's a nutritionist of all things!!!

I'd really like to see you add up what you ate on those days to see how many calories you were getting.
