I've had exactly the same experience. No amount of fiddling with the vegetarian side of my diet prevents me eventually becoming low energy and I immediately perk up if I eat some red meat. Its not an issue for me though, quite happy to eat the occasional small amount of high welfare red meat.

Strangely there is evidence to the opposite that athletes are healthier eating vegetarian or vegan diets. Men tend to have more frequent and larger erections during sleep after plant based food than meat. There was a documentary about this on Netflix iirc.

Definitely b12 or iron deficiency, as others have said.
There are lots of ways to get iron and b12 in a completely vegan diet, look it up.

Has anyone here who's reduced their meat intake noticed a difference when they do eat meat?
I ask because I largely eat vegetarian at home due to my OH, but have noticed that I have so much more energy and feel better when I eat meat, red meat in particular.
I'm wondering if my body just needs a lot more protein and/or I'm underestimating how much I'm getting from my veggie diet.
Anyone else had anything similar?
