Feeling pretty lousy

[erock80]

Yesterday I started my new diet. Felt great, abundance of energy, workout went awesome. Then I woke up feeling like crap. Kept to the diet but struggled all day. Had the trotts, headache, really light headed, couldn't concentrate for anything. Put some real mayo in my chicken salad and felt a little better. After my workout tonight I could barley make it home. Had that "i'm gonna pass out feeling" the whole ride home. Could barely make my PWO shake and felt a little better after downing it. I have never felt like this before. Am I missing something or do I have too much of something in my diet making me feel like this?

Here is my diet for the past two days:

Is this a decrease in calories/carbs for you? You are getting more than enough food and it just may take your body a few days to adjust.

It's an increase. I'm bulking. I figured my body was in shock.

[FireGuy]

How many more calories are you taking in now than you were prior?

[erock80]

2600-2800

[FireGuy]

There is your problem, increasing your calories by 1,000 or 37% in this case is going to cause issues. I recommend increasing by 200 calories at a time increasing them on a weekly basis until you hit your number.

...you read fire's question wrong

[erock80]

...you read fire's question wrong

my bad...tired. 800-1000 calories

I figured out what he meant...I think. You were taking in 2600-2800 correct?

OK, well the post #6 advice still stands then.
