So yeahh...simple question.(:

It's almost my time and I know I'll be craving lots and lots of peanut butter or Jell-O. Not at the same time though... That'd be just plain weird...

i think i eat less b/c my stomach hurts so bad :p

yea i eat less too.

I eat more the week before. Then probably about the same during

I will eat a ton the day before, and less during my period (problably due to the bloating...)

I usually eat more before I get my period then less during it, but sometimes I'll eat normally before, less during, and then more after. It probably all balances out though.

No weird cravings? Huh.. LoL. I guess I eat about normally then... I dunno. xD

I just got mine today.  Before i do crave chocolate and salty food at the same time. LOL like chocolate chip cookies and salt and vinager chips at the same time.  During I eat average I guess maybe a little more.  I've been told that your body burns a few hundred calories more the week of your monthly visitor.  I have not researched it though.

The huge levels of progesterone in your body the week before speeds up your metabolism and makes you feel hungrier, aparently. Personaly tho, i less quantity-wise but more calories...i hurt to much to bother cooking so just eat biscuits, chocolate and microwave meals Embarassed Sometimes my b/f is kind enougth to cook for me though :)

That's interesting, that you burn more calories. Mine is coming in a few days, so I guess going in the gym a little longer won't be too bad. I'd like to look that up! x]

Less. It makes me feel gross when I'm on it, so I just get un-hungry.

I tend to eat more lol...just a little though!! On the first couple of days...works out fine for me I think haha

I always eat more before that time, and I crave so many different things, it's so hard to remind myself that I'm trying to lose weight. I always end up scarfing like, a nutella and banana sandwich during snacktime. Haha.
