TOTM Do you actually burn more calories?

I've heard from different people that you burn more calories while on your period. Is that true? If so, does anyone know how many? I hope that you do and it's enough to justify eating something delicious.

Thanks!

You might.  You might not.   Either way, if want to eat something 'delicious', go ahead and eat it.  Life's for living, not enduring and 'delicious' food is one of its basic pleasures.

Thanks! I definately did... but now I'm back on track. I was just wonder what I could maybe expect around this totm.

I hear that you do -- but come'on, if it was any amount that would let you eat like an extra slice of cheesecake, you'd know about it. XD

That said, just because you're feeling crappy is an excellent reason to enjoy an extra chocolate.

But make it dark chocolate!

I tell myself it it perfectly ok to eat chocolate when its TOTM. I need the iron, see. But I guess saying you eat chocolate for the iron is like the old saying about reading Playboy for the articles. :-)
