Ladies: What are your strongest PMS cravings?

When it's THAT (or, almost that) time of the month, are there any particular foods that you crave? I know carbs are pretty much a given for any woman, but wondering more specifically if there's anything you crave month, after month, after month?

For me, it's one of three things usually- white milk, peanut butter, or tomatoes....chocolate is surprisingly not on my list!

You guys? Anything similar or other weird stuff?

    CHIPS! Ideally Doritos, but I'll take any kind of chip I can get my hands on, lol. Also milk.

    Chocolate usually isn't on my radar either.

    SALT!
    I just crave salt...I want chips, pretzels, chinese food...anything salt heavy...I've been trying really hard to rein it in!
  • big juicy hamburgers :heart:
  • The usual carbs - bread, PB, cake etc.

    But I usually get odd food combination cravings too! Like savoury crepes filled with raw onion and vinegar. I often crave sour tastes when I'm PMSing lol.
  • Cheese and breakfast-y foods. Normally together. The bagel shop on my campus has an egg and turkey sausage bagel sandwich that normally hits the spot perfectly.

    EVERYTHING.

    You think I'm kidding...
  • Anything and everything. Especially if it has tons of fat and calories. I get hungry every hour on the hour.
  • SALT!

    Ditto. I am hungry every single minute of the day. No fruit for me!

    The crappy Chinese place at the mall has a honey mustard chicken that I would absolutely shank someone for during that time. Also, I want to eat ALL the chocolate.

    Everything. Candy, chocolate, ice cream, cereal, ribs.....mmmm
  • Popcorn with butter and salt. And since I try to be good every day, I let myself have it so that my husband doesn't have to live with a raging maniac. :)
  • for me; soft cheese, yuuuum!
    and for the sweet cravings, i have dark chocolate, its a little more healthy option out of all the chocolates (as it isnt processed) plus dark chocolate has magnesium in it and this really helps with the cramps :)
