I feel weaker and weaker

Hello.

This summer I made raw til 4 programme and I felt awesome. I had so much power and vitality, and found out that (mostly) fruit is the way to live a truly amazing life.

Nowadays, I have no possibility to eat that healthy due to lack of money (I'm in high school and can't limit any costs cause it's not my money..). All I can afford is 0.5-1 fully raw, made of fresh fruits meal. My other meals contain basically pasta, potatoes, rise, bread, tomatoes, dried dates.

Moreover, I'm a bit dehydrated (I try to drink as much as I can while I'm in school but my urine isn't completely clear) and have problems with falling asleep/sleeping which is related to stress (school is the reason). I try to do yoga but I think it's too soon to expect any effects.

As a result, I don't have enough energy to run (my performance is worse and worse), learn and enjoy life although I try. What may be the major reason? Or is it caused by all of these factors? Any advices how to cope with this situation?

  I eat about 3000-3500 calories.

Could you switch one starch meal for a meal of bananas? They're super cheap.

Definitely try to drink enough-that's critical. Do you drink a lot before school? Getting hydrated all day before you eat cooked food helps a lot.

  I usually drink 0.7 liter of water before school and then at school 0.3-0.4 liter per hour. Do you think I can eat a breakfast of starches, lunch of bananas/other fruits and dinner of starches? Will it much affect my digestion?
  
  Thanks for reply!

    DON'T eat starches and then fruit-it'll cause bloating and indigestion. Have a fruit breakfast always, then lunch of fruit if you can (If not then have starch for lunch) and then starch for dinner.

      It'll be difficult to eat starches for lunch at school.. What about datorade made of dried dates?

        Dateorade doesn't keep well in my experience. I tried making it ahead of time and taking it work work and it separated and got "flat" (not frothy anymore) by the time I drank it. You could do dateorade for breakfast and bananas for lunch though :)

        Yes, that's really good idea. Thank you for help. :)
