How do I tell hair thinning from an energy deficit on 1,400 kcal a day?

Concretely: hair thinning · 1,400 kcal.

I have two candidate explanations and no way to distinguish them.

The same procedure has worked without incident several times previously, which argues against technique.

How do I distinguish the benign explanation from the one that matters?
