Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine if the phase of the menstrual cycle (opposed versus unopposed estrogen phase) affects eating behavior, including types of foods preferred, wanting/desire for specific foods, and perception of hunger.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Eating behavior [ Time Frame: At follicular (day 11) and luteal (day 26) phase of menstrual cycle ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Eating behavior, including types of foods preferred, wanting/desire for specific foods, and perception of hunger will be measured using four questionnaires; Eating inventory: to assess dietary restraint, Stanford Brief Physical Activity Questionnaire, Food craving questionnaire, Eating behavior and attitudes questionnaire
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Insulin sensitivity [ Time Frame: At follicular (day 11) and luteal (day 26) phase of menstrual cycle ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To determine if the phase of the menstrual cycle affects insulin sensitivity, we will measure plasma insulin, glucose, leptin and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA).
- Serum lipid profile changes [ Time Frame: At follicular (day 11) and luteal (day 26) phase of menstrual cycle ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Blood samples will be analyzed for lipids and lipoproteins, including apoproteins A1, B, CII, CIII, and E.
- Urinary c-peptide [ Time Frame: At follicular (day 11) and luteal (day 26) phase of menstrual cycle ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The level of urinary C-peptide and creatinine will be measured in a 24-hour urine collection.
Biospecimen Retention: Samples Without DNA
Serum, plasma and urine samples may be retained for future testing.

This is an observational study to investigate the effect of endogenous estrogen (E2) and progesterone (P4) levels on eating behavior and energy-yielding nutrient metabolism. Eating behavior will be assessed during a complete menstrual cycle during the first month of the study. Participants will track the follicular and luteal phases of their menstrual cycle using urinary leuteinizing hormone (LH) kits, they will record information about their food intake, eating behaviors, and appetite in their home environments, and they will complete two laboratory test days: one test day scheduled during their follicular phase, and one test day scheduled during their luteal phase.
