I'm Cutting Weight and am too Tired all the Time

Without more input it's difficult for me to tell if your daily 2200 calories is just too low and contributing to your level of fatigue.  Note that continue fatigue, and depression, is definitely a byproduct of a prolonged calorie deficit.

As well, you're not providing any data on the overall macro percentages of the calories you are taking in.  I have found that taking carbs too low will definitely lead to fatigue and am just not in favor of ketogenic diets mixed with hard training, particularly bodybuilding training.

Of further note, I can't see anything about the overall quality of your diet.  Is it high quality whole foods with lots of veggies, fruits and lean protein? Or, is it calorie dense food with lots of added sugar?

Don't underestimate the role of quality foods and the micronutrients they contain, in helping to keep energy levels high.

Good luck with your training and continued cutting.
