Clean calories can be interpreted a couple of ways and there's several things that could be causing you to get dizzy, carb depletion being one of those.

You will require more total cals as you increase your muscle mass. Looking at your break down your carbs are low, your fat might be a little high but I am envious of your protein intake I have trouble reaching that continually without using sups. Try increasing your carbs gradually until the weekness and dizzyness is gone if it persist I would consult a Doctor as there may be another cause. Best of luck -------------- Never be afraid to try something new. Remember the ark was built by amateurs, The Titanic was built by professionals.
