in Food and Nutrition
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.

    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.

    Anything and everything. Especially if it has tons of fat and calories. I get hungry every hour on the hour.

    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.

    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 :)
