Fuelling for exercise on a reduced appetite?

Has anyone got any tips for fuelling for exercise on a reduced appetite?

I’m on week 3 of 2.5 MJ and eating less than usual, which is the intention, but as a result feeling more fatigued / less well fuelled when running and weightlifting.
I’m not doing marathons or anything but just my regular exercise routine.

I feel hungry but then at the same time have no appetite. Don’t want to eat crappy protein bars but can’t manage big portions, even of healthy things.

On big suppression days I go: protein heavy soups, or homemade protein smoothies. And snack on nuts.
but I realistically did less exercise in my first month due to lack of energy. Not ideal but for me was worthwhile, and am now (5 months on) finding exercise so much easier because I’m lighter.

I found exercise easier, way more energy, and I often have a Huel black, as 35 g of protein, and eat clean, veg, fruit, lean proteins.

Body fat is stored energy so, assuming you are not an athlete or body builder, you don't need to fuel yourself for a work out if you, I assume as you have just started MJ, want to lose some of that fat so use that stored energy.

Something low calorie, easily digestible, protein is best - prawns, tuna, protein drink, greek yoghurt and low carb fruit - blueberries, apples, tangerines......

Thanks all, I’ll give those things a try. I found kefir protein yoghurt easier to eat yesterday.
