Even though I'm not hungry I'm always having this feeling like I want to taste something, is this cravings?

    yes or appetite which you can say no to or say yes to if you can stay in goal.

    Yes, and you can fight it, or use some zero or low calorie options. I like drinking herbal teas during times I feel like having a little something-something and I'm just not hungry. You should see my stash!

    Diet soda and sugar free gum are also good for times like that. I have a nice collection of different flavors of gum too. I also have different flavors of soda and sometimes make cocktails with it, mixing different flavors to have some fun with the whole thing.

    If I want something savory, I have a 5 calorie cup of bouillon.

    That's when I grab the gum. Extra Watermelon is one of my favorites, but Berry Medley is good as are others. That or I just take a drink of my Dt Dr Pepper.

    I literally feel this way all the time! If I eat fruit, then I crave salty or savory. If I finish a nice salad then I crave sweets. Sometimes I give in and eat a sweet Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts to quiet my tummy. It is strange because I also know I am not hungry but my stomach will feel sour at times until I give in to the craving.
