I have been craving Reese's a lot lately and can't get it to go away I have eaten a couple but still want them... Anyone have ideas one why I'm craving them and how I can stop it haha?

    I don't know if this would work with other mixes...
    I'm currently using the Shakeology Beachbody offers.. but I can make one that tastes like reese's so it helps for those moments when I crave!!!..
    You should look at ways in which you can still get the same taste but in a healthier way..

    I use
    my chocolate powder..
    almond milk
    peanut butter
    and
    honey..

    It could work with regular protein powder.. might be something to look into! :)

    I'm totally craving junk food right now and made this for myself

    Melt together 1 square of dark chocolate and 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter. Refrigerate until it solidifies. It's yummy!

    Assuming your diary is accurate, I'm going to guess that eating more than 800 calories a day would probably help.

    Are you logging everything you eat? If so, you're craving Reese's because your body is demanding calorie-dense food to make up for the shortfall you keep putting it through.

    You logged 575 calories worth of food on Wednesday, 928 Thursday, 372(!) on Friday, and 873 yesterday. That's an average of 687 per day--way below what anyone would recommend. Eat more. You'll crave candy less.

    I really just need guidance on what foods are best. I don't eat seafood or turkey or really much chicken so it's hard to find good food that's healthy

    Just add peanut butter to the chocolate shake!

    ^Yes, this. You can still "learn what to eat" while actually eating more. Eating such a drastically small amount is not going to help you get a healthier attitude towards food.

    Eggs, beans, lentils, potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, quinoa, pasta, veggies, fruit, peanut butter, pork, beef, whole-grain bread, butter, yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese, tofu, milk, soy milk, rice milk, almond milk, nuts...actually, most foods are healthy in moderation.

    I love reese's. Seriously! However, what I have started having for a snack, is 2-4 TBS of natural peanut butter and apple slices. OMG, I just had some and it was wonderful. That is how I have so far been able to not eat the Reese's.
