I have a question on whether I’d be able to continue following the One Meal A Day diet strategy while taking Estrogen. Is there any medical reason why I shouldn’t? Does estrogen work better with a meal? How about if Estrogen is injected/patch/gel?

I’d like to loose weight and OMAD is basically the only strategy where I have ever seen any weight loss.

    There’s not any literature I’m aware of that would equate weight loss strategies with meal timing in relation to estrogen therapy. The only real relevance of HRT to diet is that it lowers your metabolism a bit and decreases your resting calorie burn rate. So, at the same calories/day, you’ll have a higher weight on E than when not on E. Ultimately, you just have to start tracking calorie counts, and you need to use the female calorie estimators for your height instead of the male ones if you’re on E.
