I log a calorie floor, but my appetite keeps abstaining

My log just crossed 98 days, and the trendline says 23.4 lb down. The spreadsheet tracks a 7-day average for calories, protein, steps, and sleep. My appetite has become a bad narrator: some days it sends nothing, other days it wants toast at 9 p.m. I don't force huge meals, but I do treat 1,400 kcal and 110 g protein as a floor I hit with boring stuff: Greek yogurt, chicken, a shake if needed. When I let three low days slide, my sleep score drops and my lifting numbers get dumb. The scale usually follows a week later. So I'm not team 'eat only when hungry' or team 'force feed.' I'm team 'floor first, then hunger cues.' Curious whether others keep a number they won't go under, or if you truly ride the appetite wave.
