I get what you mean about the calories. When I first went low carb I had a very low appetite that I had trouble keeping my calories up compared to before LC where I always felt like snacking. At first I only ate to hunger but I noticed that I was dropping too much weight so I just ate more often. I have noticed that I am hungrier when I exercise too and my weight has gone up but it's stable now. I think it's more muscle though
I don't think that you should force yourself to eat if you're not hungry but don't go for longer than a day forgetting to eat. Make sure you take up enough calories for all that exercise you do. If you want to get your calories up try eating more often, or eating more per meal, or just eating more calorie dense foods. I suggest eating more fat to increase your calories and for more energy. I happen to like coconut oil especially for fat bombs. Try to set a minimum or a calorie goal for the day that you should eat at least that amount of calories to make sure you're getting enough food. Also, if you don't mind me asking, are you still trying to lose weight or are you just asking for your physical fitness? This is just a suggestion though, I think you should just do what you think is right for you.
