There are few studies on food and nutrition of this public in Brazil. Thus, in addition to attention and caution in nutritional assessment due to metabolic and bodily changes, nutrition care is important in monitoring the health of the trans person who uses hormones, to attenuate these metabolic effects and prevent Non-communicable Diseases and Injuries (DANTs).
