Do you burn more calories during your period?

Answer 1

Since your body is doing slightly more, your metabolic rate does increase slightly, like 5%. So, by technicality, you ll burn more when doing your usual activities than normal, however, if you just lay around and eat everything in sight, your not gonna lose weight. The weight gain right beforehand is from water weight, but if you follow your regular diet/exercise regimen, with maybe a few allowances, when the water retention stops, you'll find that you will have lost weight. so, in short, if you retain your normal routine, and don't let yourself fall into the lay around an eat everything trap, yes, you will burn more calories.
