Not enough food, light headed, irritable
Hi! I have just started working out twice a day. I run in the morning and i weightlift in the afternoon. I am also tracking my macros, but I am worried that I am not getting enough to eat. I feel irritable and tired, and a little light headed sometimes. I weigh 156 lbs, am five foot six, and I am a fifteen year old female. I am a four sport athlete
