Craving chocolate, salty snacks, or carbs before your period is super common! Changing hormone levels affect brain chemicals that influence hunger and what foods sound good. Your body might also be working harder and need more energy. Drops in serotonin (a feel-good chemical) can make you crave sweets. It’s totally normal and okay to satisfy these cravings in moderation!
