Its 2:36 am and I haven't been to sleep yet. I'm a little achy but I'm not sure if that is the reason why. So, I am drinking a caramel flavored cup of coffee while mylotting.
We all know that most pregnant women have food cravings at one time or another. I didn't have any with my daughter but craved milkshakes with my son. Luckily my now ex worked part time at Baskin Robbins while I was on maternity leave. He would bring me a milkshake home every night he worked.
But you don't always have to be pregnant to have food cravings. I have them periodically and when I do, they can last for a week or two. My cravings will talk to me, getting louder until I give in 
. Right now my craving is chili. I had it for lunch and dinner today. A while back it was corn on the cob and before that it was Chex Mix.
Do any of you have food cravings and if so, what food have you craved?

Yeah maybe you are going through a period of cravings, and that sometimes makes us restless when we don't get what we want right.
My sister used to crave roadside food and it was very good because roadside food was very cheap and also delicious, so we weren't hard to find it.

I just ate a few breadsticks, so given the fact that its only 8am, I'd say that is a craving. 
Everyone once in a while I will crave ice cream from Dairy Queen, and just a quick trip there will satisfy that craving, but it only happens every couple of years.
When I was expecting our son I craved granola and yogurt, and I still enjoy it very much.
When I was expecting our daughter I never felt really great, it was always 1 thing or another, and I never craved anything except sleep. But our children were close in age, only 17 months apart, so I was really tired all of the time from working full time, being pregnant and chasing after a little one.

I usually get a craving for either pizza or Chinese food. Then at another time I want to go to Red Lobster and have crab cakes, scallops and clam strips.

Chocolate is the thing that I usually have cravings for. Cupcakes would be another, and another sweet will not substitute for it. In terms of non-sweets, I will crave spanakopita, sweet potatoes, or red bell peppers.

I do go through those craving phases and I crave for different foods at different times.. And one need not be pregnant to have food cravings. If so, what explains cravings in males

I do get cravings occasionally. I'm basically a sweet eater so it's strange when I get a craving for chips or salty.
Since I love ice cream now I'm thinking about milkshakes

when I was pregnant I didn't really want food or have cravings, I just often thought about how to increase the value of hb (hemoglobin), so I eat or drink more to avoid anemia, but after giving birth and I use contraception / family planning in the form of implants, my appetite is getting worse increasing and now I want to eat snacks that are on the side of the road, unfortunately now it's 2 am here and all of store what i want already closed
