Sorry, more to add.  Cravings are real.  But if you start craving things like dirt, detergent or anything nonedible, call your doctor immediately.  It's a disease called pica and your doctor needs to know right away.  PLEASE do not eat any nonfoods!

I was always told if you are craving something it's your body's way of telling you it needs something that is in that food, like calcium or a specific vitamin.

Real!  I've always heard that about your body needing a vitamin or mineral.  But sometimes I think a craving is just a craving.  I was craving those fat cheetos for a while and I don't think there's one bit of nutrional value to those.  lol!
