Odd Craving
Around 10:30 am my tummy started screaming for food. I had just finished a cup of tea – probably my second – which normally takes most hunger pains away. I did a mental calorie calculation of my breakfast and realized I was probably a little low considering I had run. Up to the cafeteria I went and returned to my desk with a chocolate milk – 3/4 chocolate milk, 1/4 skim milk.
This morning on my run I had an odd craving – a ham sandwich. Now, let me tell you something. I hate ham. Today I wanted it.
So I got a 1/2 a ham sandwich on wheat bread with swiss cheese, lettuce tomato
I took the top piece of ham off – it was a little much. Overall this sandwich wasn’t memorable – but I have lost my craving – probably for the next 2 years or so.Â
With my ham sandwich, I got a veggie plate
That’s a little more me-like.Â
Have you had any weird cravings lately?

To answer your question you left in my comments about balancing a meat eater and a non-meat eater, Christian will tell me what meat he’s craving that week and I’ll look in the ads to see where it’s on sale and I’ll buy it for him. A package of chicken breast or ground turkey gets him through a week. He rarely eats red meat. For his lunches, he’ll make a sandwich out of deli meat or canned tuna. He’s pretty easy going though and likes to eat a lot of vegetarian meals as well. It can get expensive, but we both would rather spend money on eating well and we don’t go out to eat very often so we think it’s worth the extra expense. I hope that helps
I recently lost my cravings for wraps, and now I’m really into the squash and sauce combo! I go through food fazes all the time.
[...] Let me tell you, this morning I had the biggest craving for Fritos. Today’s craving + yesterday’s ham craving lead me to believe my body needed salt. Two years ago I had a sodium problem – it was too [...]
