Is it normal to eat more during ovulation?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, appetite can change around ovulation, though many people feel hungrier in the days after ovulation instead. Cycle-related hunger varies from person to person.
It’s normal for your appetite to shift during your cycle. Hormone changes can affect hunger, and some people notice they want more food around ovulation; others notice it later, or not at all.
If you’re hungrier, eating a bit more is fine—your appetite doesn’t have to follow a perfect cycle pattern. If the change is sudden, extreme, or comes with other worrying symptoms, consider checking in with a healthcare professional.
