Tracking Tuesday I averaged 1396 daily calories for the week of 5/26-6/1. This is quite a bit higher than my goal of 1250 but I increased my intake intentionally. I had a terrible headache that lasted nearly 4 days which unfortunately led to much lower activity for most of the week - I actually spent the entire first day in bed because the headache was impacting me so much. I was concerned that my usual activity level combined with my caloric deficit might have contributed to the headache. I generally workout for 2 hours daily and was averaging 1250 calories a day. I took a few days off from strenuous exercise and upped my calories to see if it helped. The headache did dissipate by Monday so I will go back to my previous calories and exercise goals to see how my body responds. If anyone has suggestions, insight or advice, please feel free to share! I will note that other steps I took to try to relieve the headache included Tylenol, Advil, yoga, electrolytes, magnesium supplements, plenty of water, my usual caffeine intake, napping and lavender oil. Nothing seemed to shake it for 4 days.
