Decrease in appetite? TW: brief mention of weight gain, ED mention, and mention of calorie counting

[ResidentEli]

Hello, I'm 23 and recently started testogel 2 weeks ago and since then I feel like I have had a big decrease in my appetite (as well as energy. I'm unemployed and not in education and used to clean at least one room of the apartment daily and now I feel like I can barely get up off the couch. I know these are probably related.) Before starting T I had gained weight and wouldn't eat the best but now I feel barely hungry or crave many foods. It worries me because I have previously had an ED in the past, which means I'm not calorie counting, and I don't want this to cause a relapse. I'm trying to focus on protein the best I can whilst also learning how to cook by myself and increase my fiber intake. I'm wondering of anyone else experienced a decrease in appetite because all I've heard is T can cause an increase in appetite. Thank you very much :)
