That's what's confusing to me right now. Whenever I'm hungry, I eat, so I'm not depriving myself, and I'm taking calcium and iron supplements (low iron levels can also cause irregular periods.) I think I need to write down what I eat everyday for a week to get an idea of how much I'm actually eating and go from there.
