Sounds like your probably not getting enough carbs.
I'm not an expert by any means but I have learned the following.
Carbs are important if you want to grow.
They should come from vegetables, fruit and whole/multi grain bread. Your body has to have calories for energy. If you are not eating enough carbs it will use the protein you are consuming for energy instead of muscle growth.
