Weird eating habit

So I have been on HRT for just a few days. My doctor said that my body is healthier than average, so they started with pretty nice doses of estrogen and testosterone blockers. I have been seeing results already (mainly, a lot less erections, and sore nipples).
However food wise, I have had an interesting experience:
I am getting hungry almost every 2-3 hours, and I feel like I need a whole meal. I would make some food (that I [used?] love), but after just a few bites, I feel full.

Now I don't know if this is how it is going to be now, a bit food every few hours, or I should rather force myself to eat full meals 3 times a day, even if I feel full after a few bites.

Also, I think I am starting to like different food, and mostly healthier food. I used to love fried food, but now I just want to eat fruit and vegetables the whole day.

I'd say go with the flow and with cravings (except chocolate in large amounts :) )

If you feel full I'd not overdo it...

and yes many people say their tastes have changed... some craved vegetables... and the sense of smell might change, too  :)

I've noticed the fruits and vegetables thing. I also crave salt more (due to spironolactone, probably) and hot peppers. I recently found out that the peppers may be because they increase metabolism. Also, I can only tolerate two cups of coffee per day now. One in the morning, one in late afternoon. I used to guzzle the stuff.

April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.
