Getting Dizzy After Eating - Need Help!

Hi, I keep getting dizzy right after eating— like blurred vision, vertigo, muscle aches, etc. especially after dinner. My diet is mainly like: Breakfast: 1/2 cup oatmeal w/ cinnamon, blueberries, and small plate of mixed fruit (which is banana, strawberries, oranges, cantaloupe or pineapple) and a small plate of spinach Lunch: lettuce with 1/4 of chicken breast and 4 carrots, potato or white rice, plate of mixed fruit Dinner: 1/4 cup green beans, table spoon peas, 1/4 cup carrots and 1/4 chicken with some spinach I figure I need to cut on the carbs, but does anyone know what this could be? I am open to suggestions. Also I keep getting hungry even after I ate so much, and when I’m hungry I simultaneously feel so nauseated like I’m about to throw up. No idea why. Sometimes it goes away for a few days but comes back. Thank you!

Thank you I’ll bring it up to my doctor :) I struggle to get protein in— any advice here? I try to manage with chicken breast but have no idea how much I’m supposed to be eating daily and don’t like cooking/baking everyday

This happened to me!! It sounds as if you aren't really eating enough to be honest. You don't need to cut things out. For me it was because I wasn't eating enough then I'd eat and my temperature would go up way too high and I'd faint and stuff

Heyo, an update, I increased my calorie intake to ~1000, then ~1400 today, and I am feeling much better. I have to say I am extremely grateful for your comment because it never occurred to me that I wasn’t eating enough… I’m going to seek a dietician to help me out because this isn’t the first time I’ve been undereating without realizing. Thank you for helping me start this recovery ❤️

You are really not eating enough ... How many calories is that? A healthy adult needs 2000+

I logged everything and it was 782 cal, so I’ll try to start eating more now 😢 Also I had 155g carb but 23g protein and 8g fat so I probably need to get more of those. Its just hard to do following low FODMAP because all of the servings and foods are precise
