    Well it kinda does. It's just your body doesn't particularly care whether you get 5000 calories or 3 getting those nutrients. There is calcium and fibre in ice cream. Your body doesn't always have smart impulses. It's just an example.

    Are you incapable of researching this on your own?

    Sounds like someone trying to get out of doing a research paper.

    No. Are you incapable of adding something of value?

    And let's not forget, our bodies are screaming for us to overeat to better store fat for the upcoming famine that's sure to arrive any day now.

    Not a chance. I'm always low on calcium on my macros but I never crave any calcium rich foods.

    So that's one order for a peer review and one order for a meta-analysis... Cars getting full. Oddly enough, there is evidence for pica in certain cultures for iron deficiencies but not for corresponding food cravings in any population. Curious....

    ETA I have heard of a recent study on women craving fat for DHA but I haven't been able to locate it yet.
