    I think it is especially important to keep your protein up at that time, and since you can lose iron as a result of your cycle, something like spinach is excellent to replenish it. Regardless of the calories, I would recommend some lean protein, chicken for instance, and some spinach, in a salad or cooked, to get you through the rest of the day.

    If you are in a situation where that isn't possible, a good protein bar might help. It isn't going to kill you to go over your calories, under the circumstances.
