I haven't had or even cared for peanut butter in about 20 years. When I started working out I knew I had to eat something right before my workout so I had some peanut butter on toast and have been hooked ever since! I crave peanut butter so now I take a peanut butter sandwich to work for my lunch every other day. I am not worried about eating too much peanut butter because I always fit it into my daily calories. I am posting because I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience from not eating a certain type of food to absolutely craving it?

    I don't really like peanut butter but I just ordered some PB2. I was reading a bunch of recipes calling for it and it sounded so good!

    Since around Christmas of 2013 I have noticed myself craving bananas, red potatoes, and eggs. In the past I would crave chocolate and while I still like it, it's more frequent for me to think "ooh I want an egg" or a banana mashed up with a little bit of honey, peanut butter or Nutkao. Red potatoes used to be just "meh" to me and now I'm like OMG RED POTATOES.

    I also like oatmeal a lot more than I used to...I don't like it cooked for breakfast but I really like it in refrigerator oats or in recipes for healthier baked goods.

    Oddly enough, I don't like shrimp or cheese nearly as much as I once did. I still do like both, but don't really crave them...they used to be 2 of my favorite foods.
