4. No period or abnormal menstrual function
Another sign you are not eating enough calories is the lack of a period or an abnormal period. The hypothallus and pituitary gland work together to maintain hormonal balance. There are a variety of reasons you might have irregular periods, but inadequate calories could be the main cause. A lack of essential nutrients hinders the hormonal balance. When you reduce calories, you might also be reducing nutrients that are necessary to ensure regular menstrual function.
