What is your total caloric intake? what are your goals? If leaning ..hunger and lethargy you'll just have to deal with..if bulking, you may not be getting enough calories.

With the supps you take pre workout so late in the evening, there are a lot of stimulants in them. = poor quality of sleep?

With you working out late and waking up so early are you getting enough sleep (recovery time)?

How old are you?

How often do you work out? 5,6,7 days a week?

When is the last time you took a FULL week off and just downed calories and rested up?

Taking a multivitamin? mineral sup?

All things need to be considered and HONESTLY looked at and evaluated by you. Learn your body.

Lose the coffee, save it for days you absolutely have to have it. Eat 3 or 4 solid meals have a shake after you work out. Try to make your rest days during the week and deadlift and squat on or as close to the weekends as you can.
