It's very common to experience an increase in appetite just before or during your menstrual cycle. The hormone changes associated with the menstrual cycle can make you feel hungrier, and the mood changes that sometimes accompanies your period which might lead you to crave foods that are high in carbohydrates and/or sugar. This effect can be exaggerated in women who experience PMS.

When faced with menstrual munchies, try to stick to yummy but healthy foods that fill you up: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein-rich foods. If the cravings feel emotional, see if you can find other non-caloric ways to lift your mood.

Make sure to get plenty of sleep. Being under-rested can powerfully increase appetite and cravings
