That is not the case. During menstruation, women's basal metabolic rate (BMR) may increase slightly due to fluctuations in hormone levels, but this does not mean that they can eat unlimited food without gaining weight. If the calories consumed far exceed the body's needs, weight will still increase. For women who are menstruating, dietary recommendations are: 1. Reasonably control calorie intake and avoid overeating; 2. Eat a balanced diet, ensure food diversity, and consume enough nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and minerals. You can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples, tomatoes, carrots, etc., as well as foods rich in high-quality protein, such as fish, eggs, lean meat, etc. 3. Avoid irritating foods. During menstruation, you should avoid irritating foods such as high-oil, high-salt, spicy, etc., so as not to aggravate physical discomfort.
