    Sounds like minerals and hydration in my non-professional opinion. Try drinking electrolyte water and see if your cravings change. Couldn't hurts.

    Mushrooms are awesome and very low calorie. Just enjoy them.

    Another gong for marvellous mushrooms.

    Bit of a tip - as well as all the other lovely vitamins and minerals in them if you cut them and put them in the sun and they will make vitamin D for you, which you may be lacking due to your patch of World just coming out of Winter.

    Celery has a decent amount of potassium and peanut butter has magnesium.

    Considering your running and low carb (less water retention), you may be craving electrolytes (sodium, potassium and magnesium).

    Do you saute mushrooms in butter?
    Maybe you are craving more fat in your diet, which would tie with PB cravings.

    OK, peanut butter and mushrooms would be a food combination I might be expected to eat if I were in hell. I can hardly imagine anything worse! Well, OK, if you threw green peppers and oysters into the mix that might be worse!!

    Eat all the mushrooms.

    They are my staple. I eat at least 120g of them every single day.

    Had half a pound with dinner last night.

    BTW, they cook fantastic in water allowing you to eat a bunch for very few calories. Actually, I used the extra calories that could have been oil to add parmesan and mozzarella. Brilliant move if I do say so myself.

    I put them in everything as a filler. Made risotto/paella type thing tonight with chicken and bacon in a tomato broth, added 300g of chopped mushrooms in there. Hubster doesn't even notice, and it bulks the meal out nicely.

    I highly approve of this. B)
