Late night cravings..what are yours?

OBXGal

For the past few nights before bed I get the strangest cravings and they are all for processed, super salty foods. Tonight was corned beef hash out of a can, which I couldn't tell you the last time I actually ate it. Last night was Campbell's chicken noodle soup with saltines. So strange! I would think it would be my all time favs, bacon, ice cream, cake, etc.

So what have your cravings been? Is there any rhyme or reason as to what we crave? I'm wondering if I'm missing some other nutrient that's making me crave random stuff.

I have been craving Chocolate Milk of all things. I HATE milk!!!! I have never just drank a glass of milk, however hear lately I have at least a glass (8oz or less) of WHOLE milk with a single spoon of nesquick. I cant figure it out.... but I cant resist it. This has never happened before..... I cant even explain my disgust for milk so this has been making me crazy.

I too get the late night cravings. I don't really have any junk food or processed foods to binge on at night...but I sure get the munchies. I drink hot tea and it helps me....just finished my second cup and the cravings are gone. Hope this helps.

I will try the tea and see if that helps. Fortunately, I don't have the super salty crap in the house that I've been craving and even if I did, I wouldn't eat it.

Chocolate milk..mmm!! I'm with you on not liking milk. I use it with cereal, that's it. Never drink glasses of it. Ugh!!

I crave sugar. I'm certain it's related to a health thing of mine but still, VERY annoying.

I love peanut butter too! Nutella never lasts more than two days in this house...I will eat it by the spoonfuls. Sooo good!

For some reason I crave my daughter's Frosted Flakes in the middle of the night....and she always seems to know when I've been in her box.

I have been craving ice cream all of the time but I recently found a product that is amazing and healthy!

It is called Artic Zero. It is like ice cream but only 150 calories for the whole pint and has 4 grams of protein per 1/2 cup. The vanilla maple is so yummy. It is actually like a frozen protein shake!
150 calories per pint & all natural
Fat free & gluten free
Lactose intolerant friendly
Contains 8 grams of fiber
16 grams of whey protein concentrate


I usually eat about 1 cup (68 cals) with a little sugar free chocolate syrup (10 cal) or the calorie free walden farms caramel dip, and 3 quaker mini chocolate rice cakes crumbled in it (27 calories) = 100 calories and delicious
