A healthy diet, exercise and getting enough sleep are sure-fire ways to give you more energy, but if you\u2019re still exhausted 24\/7 there could be other reasons why you\u2019re not feeling like yourself.<\/p>\n

Here are 10 sneaky causes of fatigue and what you can do to feel better, stat.<\/p>\n

1. Not enough protein<\/h2>\n

For many Americans, meat is a staple at every meal, yet one of the reasons you might feel sluggish is because you\u2019re not eating enough protein. What\u2019s more, 62 percent of people think they eat enough protein, yet only 17 percent know how much they actually need, the same survey found.<\/p>\n

A recent survey by AARP and Abbott found that half of Americans 50-years-old and older say they wish they had more strength and energy to do the activities they enjoy.<\/p>\n

Although age is a factor, the real issue is muscle mass, which declines about 8 percent every decade starting at age 40.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you begin to lose muscle mass, you lose strength so you have less energy to do what you used to,\u201d said Tiffany DeWitt, a registered dietitian nutritionist for Abbott based in Columbus, Ohio.<\/p>\n

Although the amount of protein needed varies between men and women and depends on your weight and activity level, an adult who weighs 150 pounds should aim for about 53 grams of protein every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe research shows as you age [and] as you might be faced with illness and injury, that requirement can almost double,\u201d DeWitt said.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a good idea to talk to your doctor or a nutritionist about the right amount of protein you should eat, but make it a goal to have a source of protein with every meal and snack. Cardio and resistance training most days of the week can also rebuild and maintain muscle mass and keep your energy levels high.<\/p>\n

2. Your thyroid<\/h2>\n

\u201cNinety percent of clients I see are exhausted,\u201d said Dr. Prudence Hall, founder of The Hall Center in Santa Monica, Calif. One of the most common culprits she cites is an underactive thyroid or hypothyroidism, and even subtle states of it can cause fatigue.<\/p>\n

Since most doctors rely on the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) blood test alone to diagnose underactive thyroid and often use an incorrect reference range, 50 percent of people are living undiagnosed, Hall said.<\/p>\n

Symptoms alone can be enough to make a more accurate diagnosis, but your doctor should also test for free T3, free T4 and reverse free T3. The ideal ranges are:<\/p>\n
