description The study aimed to portray the menstrual cycle relating it to premenstrual syndrome, to anthropometry and to feeding behavior aspects. Anthropometric and dietary intake assessments were conducted on follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle. Premenstrual symptoms were investigated through an outlined journal. Forty students, with a mean age of 22.57 ± 1.97 years were assessed. It was not attested any differences in weight between the two phases (p > 0.05). However, a higher waist circumference (p=0.021) and a higher body fat percentage (p = 0.019) were noticed during the luteal phase. An excessive ingestion of sweets (p=0.020), chocolate (p=0.029), diet soft drinks (p=0.009) and coffee (p < 0.001) was also noted in this phase, despite the similarity in the macro and micronutrient consumption. It was concluded that changes in body composition and food behavior and more severe symptoms occur on the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle indicating the importance of nutritional counseling.
