Eating Out with Your Cycle in Mind
Anna Sneed

Hey there! Eating out can be a delightful experience, especially when you align your dining choices with your menstrual cycle. Here’s how to make the most of your meals out based on your cycle phases:

Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5):

  • Comfort Foods: Opt for warm, nourishing foods like soups, stews, and herbal teas. These can help soothe menstrual discomfort.
  • Iron-Rich Choices: Incorporate iron-rich foods like lean meats, spinach, and beans to replenish lost nutrients.

Follicular Phase (Days 6-14):

  • Light and Fresh: Enjoy fresh, light meals like salads, sushi, and grilled vegetables. Your digestion is at its best during this phase.
  • Try New Foods: Experiment with new cuisines or dishes. Your adventurous palate is ready for new flavors.

Ovulatory Phase (Days 15-17):

  • Social Dining: This is the best time for social dining experiences. Choose lively restaurants and enjoy sharing dishes with friends.
  • Lean Proteins: Opt for lean proteins like chicken, fish, and tofu to keep your energy levels high.

Luteal Phase (Days 18-28):

  • Comfort and Cravings: Satisfy your cravings with wholesome comfort foods. Listen to your body and indulge mindfully.
  • Magnesium-Rich Foods: Choose foods rich in magnesium, such as nuts, seeds, and dark chocolate, to help manage PMS symptoms.

By aligning your dining choices with your cycle, you’ll enjoy meals out even more and support your body’s needs at each phase. Bon appétit! Once you’ve downloaded The Agenda. app, you’ll be able to sync your phases to your digital calendar. This will make eating out cyclically a breeze!
