Over the years, I started realizing that I prefer salty meals over sweet ones. Although I like sweet stuff, I oftenly choose to eat more of my main course and not take desert simply because I usually don't feel like one. I always prefer finishing a meal that leaves me with a salty taste in my mouth..hhmmm And I also noticed, at a party for exemple, I'll always reaching for the chip bowl instead of the candies of the mini cakes ... Are you like me ? Dou prefer salty meals or you prefer sweet goodies ?

I definitely prefer salty to sweet in the main course, but I've discovered that for dessert or snacks, I prefer sweet to salty. And fruity to chocolate. I'd much rather have something to eat like strawberry shortcake to chocolate cake, even though I love chocolate. I just can't take too much of it at once anymore.

Nothing has changed over the years, I still prefer sweet stuff over salty stuff with the exception of chips. I will always look forward to the dessert rather than the main course. I love things like cakes ,ice cream and all kinds of pastries.

I am with you...I get major cravings for the salty items. Have always been that way for some reason. I try to keep a bag of salted in-the-shell peanuts for those quick salty snacks.
I very rarely have the cravings for sweets. The only times that I do is right after a big meal and I can usually satisfy it with something small like a Hershey's kiss. These little cravings started when I was pregnant with my first child and just never went away.

i'm guilty of having a sweet tooth. actually, i'm even trying to lessen my intake of sweets now because i want to avoid sugar-related illnesses, hoping it's not too late for me yet. but i remember when i was younger, there was a time that my mom even chained and locked our fridge because i can't help but munch Snickers bar one after another.

to be honest Emilie I just love food . If I wee offered a fancy cake though or toast on butter I would choose the toast on butter but I would probably eat both , At the moment though I am on a healthy eating plan so I will have the toast on a low fat spread xx

Following the years my teeth are getting sweeter... But from the health point of view, I and my family have started controlled our consumption with sugar and salt.
During the midweek, i will cook at home, so I mainly use vegitable cube in replace of salt and a bit of soy sauces. For the deserts, we eat kinds of fruit. Only the weekends, I will go out with my family for a full course meal. Sometimes we will request less salt with the food we order.

I like both. I can't stand eating sweets in one sitting; when I've had enough, I crave for salty food, and vice versa.

i have always preferred salt to sweet. i actually CRAVE salt, which is a sign of a thyroid problem, though my thyroid has been checked and it's fine.

yes! i am very much like you. i like chips but am not much of a fan of chocolate and i very very rarely eat dessert after dinner
i always prefer the savory treats over the sweet ones, i guess we just missed out when the sweet teeth were being handed out :)
