M, 16, 5'7'', 138lbs
I've been lifting for a month. At first I went a little crazy with my bulk and was eating around 3-4k calories per day, was hungry a lot. For the past week I have barely hit 2k calories per day. Yesterday I bought some cereal to eat post-workout because the day prior I ate nothing after the workout until the next day. I ate the cereal then ate nothing for the next 5-6 hours then I slept and forced some food in for today's workout (which was pretty good).
This started happening like a week ago when I started being very dehydrated no matter how much or little water I was drinking (I know water in excess is a diuretic so I tried drinking just enough and it only stayed the same). My libido also went from like a 9 to a 2 on a scale from 1 to 10. I'm not sure what happened I have not changed a single thing or done anything different.
Here are some body pics. I've been trying to hit 3k per day to bulk by the way, I'm not sure if it's too high or what not. I train for hypertrophy 4 days per week and 1 day I do strength training and cardio for endurance.

Thanks
EDIT: I did not make clear what my questions were:
- If I should force feed myself or go by hunger
- What could have caused both my - possibly hormonal - problems and hunger issues.
