Craving milk?

I never even used to drink milk very often (maybe a few times per month) but now that I'm calorie counting I've been seriously craving a glass of milk. Does it mean I need more calcium or is it just a craving like any other?

    I agree. A little of what you fancy does you good!

    Milk is great, it has protein and calcium and is delicious. Go drink that glass!

    I have this problem. I'm 37 years old and I drink 4 gallons of milk a week...I could drink more, but don't.
    I also crave salt horribly.
    :(

    No. I reckon its just because you like milk.

    Listen to your body! If it craves milk, then have milk.

    Sounds like your craving dairy - How much cheese and yoghurts do you eat?

    Try upping your dairy and see if it changes

    Cottage cheese & greek yoghurts are yum!!!

    Try almond milk! It tastes the same, and it's one third of the calories!
