It’s best to adjust what you're eating depending on what phase you're at in your menstrual cycle. This can help give your body the nutritional support it needs.
Menstrual Phase: It’s best to stick to warm and comforting foods that are easy to digest. It’s best to increase our intake of proteins and healthy fats during this time.
Follicular Phase: You'll likely find yourself wanting lighter and more vibrant foods. Steamed and sauteed veggies are great during this time, and salads are good too if this sounds good to you.
Ovulatory Phase: Fresh veggies + fruit is ideal, and we may need fewer carbohydrates, too.
Luteal Phase: This is a prime time for roasted or baked root vegetables and slow-burning carbohydrates.
