Is it normal to not eat on your period?
Depends.It depends
Your appetite can dip during your period, especially if cramps, nausea, or bloating are bothering you. Skipping food briefly can happen, but going without eating or drinking much isn’t something to ignore if it keeps up or makes you feel unwell.
Period symptoms and hormone shifts can change your appetite, and cramps or nausea can make food sound especially unappealing. Lots of people notice their appetite changes around their period, though it varies from person to person.
If you can, try small, easy-to-tolerate foods and keep sipping fluids rather than forcing a big meal. If you’re unable to eat for more than a short stretch, this happens repeatedly, or you feel faint or very weak, check in with a healthcare professional.
