Introduction: Hormonal changes during menstrual cycle among women without hormonal contraception could probably influence the food intake. Sex hormones modulate body energy expenditure by affecting hypothalamus neurohormones.
Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the way of nutrition among menstruating women without hormonal contraception, depend of menstrual cycle.
Materials and methods: 77 menstruating women in age 19–26 entered the study. The way of nutrition (caloric intake, protein, fat, carbohydrates content) was assessed in each phases of menstrual cycle (menstrual phase, ovulatory phase, luteal phase). The 24 h feeding interview was used. The collected data were statistically analysed, α=0.05.
Results: The mean of age was 22.79±1.94 years. The mean of caloric intake in menstrual phase was 1825.65±471.97 kcal, ovulatory phase 1842.28±391.74 kcal, luteal phase 2225.82±551.30 kcal. The mean fat intake in menstrual phase was 66.44±27.06 g, ovulatory phase 70.32±25.40 g; luteal phase 88.44±40.38 g. The mean carbohydrates intake in in menstrual phase 247.89±72.62 g, ovulatory phase 244.73±57.54 g, luteal phase 290.18±68.16 g. The statistical significance difference was observed between energy intake in particular cycle phases (P<0.0001). Moreover the statistical significance differences were also observed between fat intake (P<0.0001) and carbohydrate intake (P<0.0001).
Conclusion: The way of nutrition among women without hormonal contraception depend on phases of menstrual cycle. In the luteal phase intake of carbohydrates including sugars was the highest. This observation could be helpful for maintaining a proper weight by better controlling of food intake.
