I'm starting to think I'm turning hypoglyemic or diabetic, kind of freaking me out. Around 3-4pm I start to get really irritable, and like tired/zoned out. It's not like a sleepy type tired if that makes sense more of a zoned out.
I would attribute it to just I'm getting off work, but in all honesty I don't think it's that. Even on the weekends it will happen. If I eat something sweet, like a candy bar or a soda, I'm good to go and it goes away. I'm thinking maybe I'm not consuming enough/right type of carbs at breakfast/lunch and this dip in blood sugar is causing this? I keep track of my diet and posted a rough layout below. Every couple days this happens and pretty much I feel I need sugar, and it goes away like 30 mins after I have sugar, so I eat some candy and fuck up whatever my meal plan is/was.
First off, I know my diet isn't the greatest. I try to keep it pretty healthy ~2500 cal a day and atleast 210 protein. Sunday/Monday I was fine. Tuesday I was feeling it some but it went away but then Weds it hit me like a ton of fucking bricks and I ended up eatting a bag of Peanut MM and drinking a Gatorade then I felt fine. This feeling occurs in almost the same cycle each week. First day or two I'm ok then it just kills me.

And according to 3J's TDEE calculation mine should be about 3500. I'm trying to drop some weight/BF I packed on the last month or two due to lots of reasons.
