Is it normal to eat so much on your period?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to feel hungrier or have stronger cravings around your period. Hormone shifts can change your appetite, mood, and food preferences.

A bigger appetite before or during your period is common. Hormone changes can affect hunger and cravings, and feeling tired or having a rougher mood can make certain foods especially appealing, too.

You don’t need to feel guilty about eating more. Your appetite may settle again after your period; if it doesn’t, that can still be normal for you. Eating regularly and choosing foods that leave you feeling satisfied can help.
