Why have I been craving peanut butter?

Question

Usually, I never really eat peanut butter, and never have the desire to. It's not that I don't like it, but I can live without it. For like the past 3 days, thats all I have been craving! Do you think there is a reason why?

Answer 1

Your body wants the fat in it. Obey.

Answer 2

I always want peanut butter when I'm on my period. Maybe it's a hormonal thing, but it's so salty and delicious! LOL I think it's just a phase. The only thing to watch is that it is really high on fats, so make sure that you stay hydrated so that your body can use it, instead of store it.

Answer 3

Could be that you are having low iron levels. In addition to giving the body protein peanut butter helps our iron levels. I often recommend this to women that are having problems at certain times if they aren't allergic to peanuts.

When we crave something (several years ago I craved peaches for several days) it's because that's our body's way of saying we are low on important vitamins and minerals.

Answer 4

I'm not big on peanut butter either and I just had to have a sandwich the other day but I'm 2 and a half months pregnant.

Answer 5

Have you recently lowered your meat intake ,because penut butter is pure protien , usually when your body is low on nutrients it will make you crave things that have that nutrient in it.

Answer 6
