As others have stated, not consuming enough calories at the appropriate time is most likely one of the reasons you are feeling faint.
However, another main component may be breathing incorrectly. When I first started resistance training, I would subconsciously hold my breath instead of breathing at my normal pace. This caused both avoidable faint and headaches. I learned my lesson quickly.
Make sure you are breathing at an appropriate pace, particularly when lifting.
And, as stated above, consult with your doctor as it may be an inner ear problem, anemia, low blood sugar, or another condition.
