Does eating less make your period lighter and earlier? and does eatin more make it heavier and come later?

Extreme weight loss : Excessive or extreme weight loss or restriction as in anorexia or hyper committed athletics often results in the absence of periods. Excessive eating would not have the opposite effect.
