I don't usually get cravings for specific foods. It usually comes down to craving something 'sweet' or 'savoury' which is good I suppose as I can usually find a healthy snack to suit.

I have to say that I am one of those that fall in the catagory that craves the junk food. I have occasions when I crave chocolate and then other times I just want a good greasy hamburger.

How I wish that I was you for that reason right now. Of late, I have been scooping a spoon into the peanut butter jar, then swiping it into a tupperware container that is filled with chocolate chips. I am going to be a blimp if I don't soon get this under control ~Donna

For the last few years, I have craved chocolate.......especially Reese's Peanut Butter cups! It's weird, cause when I was younger, I hardly ever ate or craved chocolate. I'm 54 now, maybe it's age realted! LOL

cravings for junk foods usually occur on late nights while wathing TV but i always tried to divert into other healthier chips or go with carrot sticks , saltine or fresh fruits. for a complete meal i would grab for a rice set with vegetable side dish.

I tend to crave on a regular basis chocolate! I like how it makes me feel, but also how it tastes at the same time! It may be due to the chemical in chocolate, that releases endorphins, in to my body! But it's not like I am eating it every day, but I do prefer the occasional chocolate bar a few times a week or at least a piece of chocolate over a bag of chips or any other junk.. Another thing that I tend to crave is fruit! There always has to be fruit in our house because instead of turning to junk food, I have been turning to fruit over the last little while when I want a snack at night or during the day. I love having it in the house because it's there whenever I am wanting to have it. It's convenient! As well I will make shakes out of the fruit that we have usually. I find them to be incredibly healthy, but also a great energy booster for me! I love the way fruit helps to make me feel full of energy, full of life. Sometimes after one eats junk they begin to feel crummy/disgusting afterwards. I like how fruit doesn't do this to me! Sometimes I will crave things such as pasta, wings, or chicken ceasar salads. It all depends upon my mood & so forth. Sometimes my cravings are randle, other times they aren't.. They will instead end up being the same things that I crave. I know that my other half craves salad a lot of the time. He seems to be more of a vegetable person, & I on the other hand am more of fruit person! It's funny how he craves vegetables & I crave fruit.. It's good though in a way as it gives us the nutrients our body needs! But when it comes to cravings it sometimes changes.. But when it comes to snacking I try to turn to something that is more healthy such as fruit or vegetables.. But I get the occasional craving for a bag of chips or chocolate.. And I sometimes crave foods that I haven't had in a while such as chinese food or wings. I think our cravings can change just like that.. I am trying to learn to control some of my cravings quite honestly.. Because it is so easy sometimes to allow them to control you! . . haha.

I eat such a wide variety of foods that I don't have time to crave any particular one. I do miss several dishes that I haven't had in a long time, especially Mexican and Vietnamese food but one particular dish, no. Guess I am one of the lucky ones who eat to live and don't live to eat. I rarely get hungry and can go all day without eating, especially when I am here in myLot...time goes by quickly when you're having fun.

How I wish I was like that but it is a new thing I am working on and the simple fact that my body is now craving healthy food may be a sign! Thanks for your response.

I'm usually too busy with my life that i don't care much for food, i mean i don't get cravings or search for something in particular, I'm the "whatever here will do" kind of a person.. still I would say that you are lucky to have your cravings for such un-harmful things unlike most people :)
