Do you ever get a craving for a certain snack? Usually I like a little something sweet after supper but tonight I would love to open a bag of Doritios or even some plain potato chips just to munch on! Something salty would really hit the spot but I don't have any in the cupboard and don't intend on leaving the house just to buy some. Do you get a craving for a snack at night? Do you prefer salty or sweet? Or are you like me, sometimes sweet...sometimes salty?

Most of the time it is something sweet or something neither sweet or salty like bread.

Trying to stay away from bread? I could never do that. Good luck.

Boy I know hat you mean. I have had a craving for some jalapino and avocado pringles and I can't find them in the stores any more. I have given up buying chips because I can't eat just one I have to consume the whole bag all at once. So I just suffer with the craving these days and hope it goes away.

Yes I do get cravings in the evening but it's usually for chocolate. Once in awhile I get that salty craving but not as much as sweets. I have gone out in the evening just to buy Reeses Peanutbutter Cups after dinner. I try not to think about chocolate because as soon as I do, I am outta here and at the store. I am about the same way with Pepsi. I stopped eating candy and drinking soda for awhile and lost about 5 lbs. almost immediately. Don't want to ruin my 4 teeth either....lol

I am both. But I crave salty more. Sweet is a rare occasion. I mostly crave chips! I love, love, love ruffles with french onion dip or fritos with cheese dip. They are my fave snacks! Now you have me all hungry!!! lol

Yes, I get cravings like that sometimes. Sometimes I want something salty and sometimes something sweet. Then sometimes I get the munchies and just can't figure out what it is that I really want. I haven't had Doritos in a long time and now you have me wanting some of the cool ranch ones. LOL But I don't have any here and it's raining outside so I'm not going out to the store.

I feel the same way and I am trying so hard to keep that kind of stuff out of the house. I want to lose weight so bad, but sometimes I wake up and have been dreaming of eating chips!!

I love bad of chips too, when I got a craving for a bad of chips I would leave the house just to go to buy it, well, where I live there is near a mini store so I wouldn't have to go too far to get my bad of chips, I like just plain potato chips, I like it salty or with lemon flavor, I don't like much the sweet things at night, because it make me hard to get sleepy.

i usually have a craving for a salty snack as well at night... it can be peanuts or chips... that's why i always try to store some in my cupboard in case i really want to eat it at night... that way, i don't have to go out just to buy a bag of chips if i really want it... especially during winter... the weather is extremely cold at night... take care and have a nice day...

I have this theory that humans' eating habits revolve around three things: sweet, salty, fat. Of course, the average person will throw in some nice healthy vegetables in here and there to keep the heart beating and the cholesterol down but in general we reach for sweet salty fat. Think about everything you like and I guarantee in some way or another it falls into one of those categories.

I crave sweet foods most of the time. Like right now, I want a big ice cream cone coated with chocolate and peanuts. Gosh...wouldn't that be nice? I used to crave cheeseburgers from fast food restaurants. Now that I eat them every day because it is cheaper than buying groceries, I have started to put on some weight, and I am sick of them. My dad always said that if you are craving something, then your body is in need of whatever nutrient is in that particular food. I don't know if it's true, but my dad has been right about so many other things...he might have something here too.
