How can I suppress my appetite?

Okay here are the circumstances:

1. I'm an 18 year old female

2. I am extremely active

3. I know I should take in around 2500 calories because of my activity level

4. I weigh 155 lbs. but my fat percentage is 10%

5. I have recently been having problems with my appetite.

I am quite concerned because I have been having an issue with controlling my appetite lately. About 3 weeks ago I twisted my ankle while running so I've had to cut out my cardio. Maybe that is what is affecting my eating habits, but I'm not sure.

Has anyone out there had this problem? I'd really like a solution. Thanks a lot.

P.S: I'm not fat; I'm very muscular. No judgment please-- I don't usually eat this way. I normally eat in a very healthy manner. Thank you.

    If you're eating too much, I think your body may be confused. It's used to a high activity level so maybe it's trying to get energy again to get back to where it was. It may be because your body is trying to fuel itself.

    And I would LOVE to be as active as you! Lol.

    become fat, thus not needing additional calories should reduce your appetite.

    cook really disgusting food also helps

    may be look at some really awful pictures while eating should help reduce appetite.

    Jokes aside, I think you should just eat some healthy food when feeling hungry, you shouldn't starve your body, I think it's better to eat when you feel like it, just don't eat overly processed food.

    10% body fat is impressive, that's really lean for a girl.
