Why do i have such a big appetite before i start my menstrual?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Menstrual hunger: During the time of menstruation the female body burns more calories. Your body is simply telling you its time to eat more so you can keep up with your body's calorie needs. Some authors have suggested the metabolic rate of a woman at the time of menses is 15% greater than baseline.
