I mean the days when you are tired, even if you eat well during the day, you are still hungry and irritated, you find it difficult to concentrate, and it is impossible to communicate with people for a long time, or even when you try to hold something in your hand, it seems to slip out.

Nope nope nope don't listen to the people saying this is inevitable. It's a pretty simple formula to narrow it down & figure out if you have more underlying issues affecting your mood.

potassium & magnesium!!! this will greatly improve your sleep. even people who eat well & take a multivitamin often miss this. magnesium oxide doesn't do anything.
at least 1/3 of calories from protein (just a rule of thumb it's actually based off your physique & added into the total amt of energy you need for the day's activity/recovery)
actually count calories & deduct thermogenic calories lost (simpler than it sounds, basically proteins & complex carbs lose 25-35% of energy being digested, which is good for you)
25-50g of fiber (don't just throw this all in on one day lol, carrots, psyllium husk, potatoes are cheap even if you don't have great vegetable access & they taste bad (e.g. american))
strength exercises not just cardio. Critical for posture, affects your sleep. you're almost never too young or old to start this & it decides how much ability you retain as an elder

Of course this might not help but this way you can be sure it isn't caused by basic lethargy
