But what we do see is that the hormone fluctuations can change perceptually how you feel.
So um
To the eating standpoint, there might be us an acute increase in energy expenditure in the luteal phase.
It's like two to twelve percent is the range.
Like fifty to like two hundred calories a day.
Like, so it's not a ton, right?
It's not like go eat a ton more.
And also like
It's also there's some studies that show no effect, so it's not like this big conclusive thing.
It's uh it might be increased.
We do see that women habitually eat more in the luteal phase and less in the follicular phase, the early half of the menstrual cycle.
Um, whether that's because estrogen has a different effect on hunger and satiety versus the luteal phase affects digestion, slower motility, things like that, or energy expenditure.
There's other things that potentially could be going at play there.
But then when we think about also the changes in those hormones.
Really, what happens is in that specifically late litial phase into early menstrual cycle phase, where we do have studies that show, hey, there might be something going on here, decreased in performance.
There's a few studies, they are smaller, but I really love them because they control for hormones and all these perceptual metrics.
And when they try to find a relationship between the change in the hormones and the performance, they don't.
But then they look at perception of pain, motivation.
Um
You know, all of those things that drive you to want to push hard in the gym, those are impacted by hormones.
