Why is it sideways?
I've got a fever...
Running Weight-Loss Calculator - 2/20/2008 Input: age 32 years height 65 inches weight 125 pounds hours per week of running 1.87 hours/week average running speed 6.25 miles/hour desired weight loss per week 0 pounds/week Output: You burn 1625 calories/day, excluding running. This assumes a sedentary lifestyle (i.e., a desk job with no exercise) and is calculated by multiplying your basal metabolic rate (BMR) of 1354 calories/day by 1.2. You burn 95 calories/mile of running. You burn 592 calories/hour running. Since you run 1.87 hours/week, or an average of 16 minutes/day, you burn an average of 158 calories/day running. **** If you eat no more than 1783 calories/day (132 % of your BMR) and run 1.87 hours/week at an average speed of 6.25 miles/hour, then you will lose at least 0 pounds/week. **** Your average daily deficit will be -0 calories where 158 calories (100 %) will come from running, and -158 calories (0 %) will come from eating less. Note, if you didn't run at all, then you could eat no more than 1625 calories/day (120 % of your BMR) in order to lose the same amount of weight.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
I don't want to jump to crazy conclusions, but what you describe sounds more like depression than lack of nutrition. Have you considered that possibility?

That was my first thought, too. Eating healthy isn't that complicated. Especially for somebody at a healthy weight. Neither is running often and easy. But if you're not sleeping and not eating and not drinking enough fluids and not feeling much energy, there may other stuff going on.
