No, it's is not required to increase your food consumption, but it would be a good idea to eat redder meats and lentils, as the loss of blood can decrease your iron.

There is no reason to eat more just because you have your period. Although, many women do have a bigger appetite at that time of the month.

it does not really use more energy but most girls eat more during their periods

no there is no reason to eat more its just that most woman do as they fell more ungry at there time of month but ther is no need to

I'm not sure about that, but I always feel that if I keep my stomach full, by eating more, and not getting myself get hungry, that the stomach cramps and soreness doesn't happen as much. But when I let myself become too hungry, then the period pain starts up.

depends on ur appetite.
