    I don't know about weird, but I do get cravings. The usual suspects like sugar and salt. Milk - whole milk (I usually drink 2% or skim). Carbs - pastas, especially. And meat - heavy, red meat. Biologically, it all makes sense. When that hits, I usually indulge and don't worry too much about the calorie count. I just try to make sure that I'm eating more "real" foods than snacks and candy.

    I crave everything I can get my hands on. I will admit that since starting mfp, I have SERIOUSLY dropped my daily intake. It wasn't unheard of to have 6,000 calorie days. Now if I feel like I'm going crazy, I'm usually around 3,000 after logging.
    Balancing salt and sweet seems to be the pattern here.

    I get desperate for carbs, and less so sweets. Can't stop eating bread and anything stodgy. Argh!

    I desperately crave chocolate. HOWEVER, I have learnt to substitute with dark chocolate now so I don't have to feel as guilty about it.

    Chocolate covered pretzels. I get sweet and salty together. Btw, that is dark chocolate, milk chocolate is a poor substitute, in my book.

    And steak, but I justify it as needing the extra iron.

    I am, relatively speaking, lucky. When my hormones are normal for me, I only get one day of cravings, then I am nauseous for a day or two. If, however, my hormones are out of whack, I am frumpy, bloated and starving until they get their act together, which can be up to a week. That is, my PMS always starts on time, even when Tom himself is late.

    I just over did my chicken, go figure..:indifferent:
    Yes the sugars are a common trigger..I avoided them, not really even interested in those.

    TOM will be visiting me soon...I cannot stop eating!! I CAN'T STOP. I want everything. But, trying to make healthy choices rather than fatty snacks...so for my lunch break I will be going to Target and getting some Nature Valley bars. Not that they are THE best choice...but it's better than a KitKat bar or Doritos, right?? Hate it.

    get the protein bars... i love the peanut butter dark chocolate ones. the extra protein helps with wanting to eat everything in sight too
