tired when dieting!!!

No offense but your diet looks really poor. I dunno if its working for you but it seems you're taking too much poor quality carbs which might be causing your tiredness.

Rice Crispies are Hi GI and not a good choice for food, swap this for oatmeal and skip the toast.
Add some more protein to this meal by eating some egg whites with some whole eggs or adding a scoop of whey to the oats :)

I dont know if you're cooking the curry and rice yourself or if you're using take away or ready made version, if it's the latter two drop it (especially the packet crap)
replace this with lean protein and some good carbs and veggies. Try some brown rice or a sweet ptotato with the lean protein.

Dinner looks ok

Skip the toast as your last meal and replace with some protein
have some protein between dinner and lunch

Take an EFA supplement or eat oily fish this will help your tiredness to a degree.

Also make sure you're getting 6-8 hours of quality sleep per night!
 
I agree with BA youreally have no high quality carbs in there like oats or baked potato just the toast etc. get some low GI carbs will help.
Also you ARE doing too much in your week. For starters I`d cut back on your 12 sets per bodypart.
 
start writing down everything you are eating... get your carbs from sweet potatoes and oatmeal...

Keep the protein at least 1 gram per pound of bodyweight

sleep at least 8 hours a day..

take your vitamins and your minerals

if you have been doing the same weight routine for a while think about switching it up... try and go with a 5 * 5 just for the newness of the routine... You wont make tremdous gains becuase of your caloric deficite but it is something new...Doing a new routine might keep you more mentally excited to train...
 
No offense but that is a shitty diet no wonder you feel like crap. The carbs that you are getting have high glycemic indexes and you are not getting near enough protein. Try getting some good complex carbs such as long cut oatmeal and brown rice. Get some good protein in at each meal such as chicken breast, egg whites, whey protein and you should break it down into 6 meals.
 
I would say you need to bump up your calories... I recently found that I can still lose weight with all my training I do at around 3000 calories a day, and still lose around 2lbs a week on average, yielding around 8-10 a month when I diet.
