Excuse my ignorance, but are you still allowed to drink during the fast?
If not then I probably wouldn't train, or at least keep training to a minimum.
If its okay to drink, keep well hydrated, maybe sports drinks if you are allowed to replenish some of the salts and minerals lost during training. I used to train while only having 3 diet shakes a day plus water (not the same as fasting I know) and I found I used to get dizzy quite often, so if it gets too bad just sit down for 5 minutes, there is no shame in that. Have a word to your sensei/sempai beforehand so they know what is going on.
Someone else would be better qualified to answer what type of foods (if you have a choice) to eat after sunset etc, but I suspect if you plan on training a lot then it would include some good quality carbs.
