Abstract in brief

  • The menstrual cycle hormones, which fluctuate throughout the month, significantly affect women's energy balance by influencing their food intake and energy expenditure.
  • During the luteal phase, women tend to eat more, especially craving high-carb and high-fat foods, and their overall energy expenditure increases compared to the follicular phase.
  • Understanding these hormonal effects could help improve weight loss strategies by customizing diet and exercise plans to each phase of the menstrual cycle, but more research is needed to confirm these approaches.]
