Red flag that you are not eating enough and/or you’ve thrown off your thyroid. If you’re losing muscle mass this will compound your problems. I’d try s topping for a while.

Your protein intake is fine, I would try to increase your healthy fats from avocados and nuts/seeds.

Hair loss in big weight loss is normal. Not much you can do to prevent it. Maybe if you lost extremely slowly, like a pound a month.

You need bloodwork for thyroid hormones, OP. Hyperthyroidism symptoms include weight loss and hair loss.

I lost 30 lbs on WW over a year and my hair was falling out. I was shocked because I didn't do anything drastic or eliminate food groups.

I feel like I wrote this in a fever dream - my eating plan twin! These are all things I’ve eaten in the last 48 hours.

This. You need nutrients. And fats! And forget the good fats like avocado.

Are you taking a multivitamin? Has this happened if/when you've lost weight in the past?

I know someone who got bariatric surgery and lost about half her hair through the weight loss.

Any way to prevent this? It is a real issue for me.
