I get so HUNGRY when I get PMS. Food is all I think about. Is there any tips you ladies have for keeping your diet when you're tired, hungry and crampy?

    Oh man, I am dealing with this right now! I'm already at my calorie intake for the day and its only 4! Geesh. Anyways, i like apples and peanut butter. And I recently switched to FitNutz Peanut butter and it saves me 100s of calories. :)

    lots of water, tea, and sweet fruit (like grapes or melon), and a piece of dark chocolate when I have the sweet craving!

    Agree with the water & light hot chocolate. Also try animal crackers! Slightly sweet to curb the craving but not rediculous in calories or hugely addicting.

    I try not to keep snacks in the house. when i do, I try to buy single serving packages to keep the portion under control.

    I eat pickles to combat the salty/sour cravings, then I suck on Jolley Ranchers to combat the sweet cravings that follow. I also eat celery just to go through the eating motions if that's all it is.

    You gotta remember too that it's onyl a few days a month and if some extra calories help you to not go crazy, just eat.

    Fage Fat-Free Yogurt with Sugar Free Syrup (Torani Raspberry is my favorite!) Add .25 cup Go Lean Crunch and you have a great snack! If you keep the Fage to 3oz (1/2 of a small) the total is less than 100 calories and very filling! (Yep, that was yesterday for me...) Other than that, lots of fiber and protein to stay full....

    I do not know if you are like me, but I crave steak because I have low iron and that makes it even worse.. So i endulge in a nice big steak... You may be more tired because you are losing iron, so maybe try this for dinner OR FISH... both are delicious..

    I do believe Nabisco has a 100 calorie package of chocolate covered pretzels! Get the sweet and salty craving covered in one package!

    I am having a hard time this week too. I always do during this time of the month. My cravings are uncontrollable. Today has been a good day so far though. Unlike yesterday and the day before. :(
