I usually crave more sugar but I've been craving meat since doing more speedwork. I'm a vegetarian! Shocked

Is this normal? What do you crave?

I'm with Tina on the Peanut Butter! I have to monitor it a bit or I'd totally overdo it on that. Sometimes when I first up my mileage I'm just generally more hungry. DH has been known to call me "a great cavernous stomach on feet." Running hasn't made me crave meat though. Hmm. Maybe it's time for some Gardenburgers, etc. ? We had Tofurky Beer Brats done on the grill for dinner tonight - with onions and peppers and sauerkraut - yum!

All right all but one of the respondents so far has been female. How come guys are much less likely to have cravings? Really odd if you ask me.

I don't know if I would call it it a craving, but I do get a tingly, pleasant feeling when I think about food. Smile

I know when my sodium levels get low, salty foods sound real good to me. Just taking a guess... Perhaps cravings, or a desire to eat a particular food or food groups, may be our body's way of telling us of particular nutritional need that is lacking.

Yeah time for Gardenburgers. Smile

Thanks everyone. I should be eating more variety and protein. The guys at my house eat everything hence no cravings.

you know, I was telling my husband that I was really enjoying this community. When I read this thread, I laughed out loud and read him the various things that y'all crave. He said, "these are your people." Apparently 'regular' people crave things like a fast food burger (blech). I come staggering in the house after a long run and say, "all i could think about was a smoothie with plain yogurt and lots of frozen berries" or "could you put a whole wheat english muffin in the toaster? and then put some almond butter on it?" ummmmmm. Steel cut oatmeal with blueberries, strawberries, and bananas on it, with an iced coffee (this meal I can get at our local coffee shop). That's also a post run favorite. Unlike some folks, I feel HUNGRY when I'm running, especially if I run more than an hour or so.
