What do you do to avoid binging at that time of the month?

    Me right now!!! I’m eating “maintenance” I can tell I’m still losing but the scale doesn’t show it. I lose 5-6lb overnight at the end of my period last month ( my first month on myfitnesspal) so I’m hoping for the same thing to happen this month. And it should since I followed my diet and have no loss while I’m on my period due to water retention

    You could figure out your maintenance calories, and eat to that until it passes. You won't lose, but you won't gain either. Some people also find they benefit from diet breaks.

    This. This is what I do. I give myself 1-2 days/month to eat maintenance to allow for the munchies.

    I get really hungry a day or 2 beforehand and eat almost nothing most of the week unless i force myself to eat the minimum 1200 ( i usually eat 1500) and then for 2 days after i eat at maintenance. I know its triggering when i want to eat cake frosting that has been chilling in the fridge lol
