I didn’t eat big at all today i actually just ate two small meals

Soso answered

Okay so, eating enough is super important, especially when your body is growing like crazy and getting ready for big stuff like periods. Not eating enough can totally mess with your energy and how you feel.

Your body needs a lot of fuel right now because it's doing so much work growing up, and then when you get your period, you're literally losing blood. That means you need even more good stuff like iron to keep your energy up and not feel tired or dizzy. So it's not really about eating "big" but eating enough of the right things, like fruits, veggies, and proteins to keep you going.

If you're not eating much, or if you feel super tired all the time, it's a good idea to chat with a grown-up about it. They can help you figure out what your body needs to feel its best.
