Mounjaro 5mg- struggling to eat!

I've been on MJ for 10 weeks. First month on 2.5 then the last 2 on 5mg. I love it. No SE and great suppression. Maybe too great, I don't feel hungry at all. I'm eating 1 meal a day and struggle with eating more. Usually I eat chicken/fish with veg at around 6.
I've gone off everything, I used to love cheese and bread and haven't touched any for weeks!
I'm down to 1 coffee a day then water, no alcohol. Never been a big sweet eater.
If I eat earlier I don't want anything later.
I only ever ate 2 meals a day plus snacks.

I guess my question - is this ok?

Sw- 104kg
Cw - 89kg
Gw- 70 something

I am in pretty much the same situation with dosages and weight loss/goals. I’m about to take my third dose of 5mg tomorrow. The appetite suppression on 5mg has been huge. I have to force myself to eat.

I use ChatGPT to log my calories and suggest protein-rich light snacks.

I found the first few weeks on 5mg awful. 2 days of diarrhoea and no appetite. It does get better, I’d recommend finding a protein shake you like and drinking on of those.

It doesn’t sound like enough calories to be healthy to me.I think you need to be trying to eat something earlier in the day. Most people need at least 1200 calories per day.
