What are your PMS foods?

[Julian]

Are you a salty craver or a sweet craver?

When I''m PMS''ing all I want are carbs, carbs & more carbs!

Dark chocolate, salty crackers & cheese.

How about you ladies?

 

[rainbowtrout]

brownies!!!!!, pizza, lots of food in general.

 

[ammayernyc]

I once ate a huge bag of potato chips bite for bite with huge chocolate bar. Yum.

However, the best PMS food in the world are chocolate covered pretzels. Salty and sweet all in one. I can''t buy them anymore since I will eat the whole thing in one sitting.

 

[Mara]

i don''t have PMS foods...typically i feel so crappy i don''t want to eat anything extra.

but if i do crave something at any given point in time, it''s totally carbs, mostly potatoes like baked potatoes or fries or something like that. and sometimes desserty things. but that''s about it. i''m not a huge snacker. if i have a real craving it''s usually for a bad food item like a chicken pot pie or a hamburger and fries.

 

[MissAva]

I crave meat...the more the better, and it needs to be red meat...don’t try to give me chicken. I think it is my body trying to make up for the additional iron loss.

 

[Julian]

Oh my gosh! I forgot OREOS!!!!!!

OOOOHHHH... Chicken pot pie!

When is the last time you''ve had pizza? It''s been 5 years at least.
I think I''m going to have to get some -- I saw a colleague eating cold pizza for lunch and it looked HEAVENLY!

I love aged gouda. My gosh, I''m so hungry right now!

We know you crave LEMON PIE

 

[Julian]

LEMON PIE!!!!!!! LOL.
Mara, when are you getting that incredible rock? We want hand shots!

If there was ONE food that you could eat endlessly without gaining a pound -- what would it be?

For me, it would be ICE CREAM!!!!!

 

[Kaleigh]

Dark Chocolate. A nice big bar of it!!!

 

[tawn]

Zanax!

Dark chocolate and everything else is salty! That''s also the only time I really want to eat red meat!

What kind of dark chocolate do you like?

Have you ever tried Dan's? It's the best!!! Hersheys makes an awesome Extra Dark chocolate bar with almonds and blueberries in it, too.

 

[marvel]

Brownies!

I sometimes crave those cafeteria brownies we used to get in elementary school.
They were tough, over-cooked & often as hard as rocks...but I loved ''em!

 

[jaysonsmom]

I crave fattening savory foods and lots of red meat (I usually eat only fish and chicken). A few that top the list:

Chicken Fried Steak
Clam Chowder
Lasagna
Big juicy Steaks

 

[moon river]

CHOCOLATE!!!!!!

No I haven't. Right now my current fav is dark chocolate by Perugina. Hubby keeps stealing my stash!! Can't do that to a woman that is PMSing. Watch out!!

 

[Diam100]

Doritos, Pepsi & a couple of Alieve pills! So sweet, salty & pain killers.

 

[FireGoddess]

Chocolate (duh) and kettle corn (yum love that salty and sweet) - not together though!

 

[Mara]

lol lemon pie!!!

the one food i''d want forever with no weight gain.....ummm it has to be double stuff oreos. i ADORE them and can eat a whole bag in one or two sittings. it''s insane. which is why they are NEVER in the house.

it hurts me though when i walk by them at the store and they always inevitably have a 2 for 1 sale on the oreos...i am like ''oh yumyum'' and Greg just steers me by them and goes ''you know you will eat the whole bag and then be sick''...SO!!?!?!?! what''s his point really????

MEN!

 

[diamondfan]

Mara, did you ever fry oreos in butter? I heard that they are so good that way...


I love kettle corn (sweet and salty, yum when you are PMS''ing)

I also love McGriddles, but rarely go to McD''s in the am...also great if you are a bit hung over...they have salt and sweet and are really fattening...

Perugina dark chocolate are good. I also like Lindt. I tried the Hersheys dark chocolate with almonds and blueberries; it''s not bad, much better than their special dark chocolate bar.

I don''t really have specific PMS foods, but I do tend to eat a lot more than usual during that time. I am a dark chocolate junkie in general, so I also have some around the house and I even got DH hooked on dark chocolate (he doesn''t eat milk chocolate anymore either).

Mara, my mom and I found that Newman''s Own no-trans fat Oreos are awesome--very yummy. Of course they still have calories, right? But much better for you.

 

[Miranda]

EVERYTHING!!! I will eat anything and everything when I''m PMSing. From fruit snacks to pb by the spoonfull...It doesn''t matter. I''m just sooooo hungry! Then after a few days I switch to 4 advil every 4 hours...A few days after that I''m so grossed out by all of the crap I put into my body that I''m not hungry for a few days.

 

[Scooba]

i don''t get PMS cravings but when I get any cravings it''s always fast food hamburgers and fries (McDonalds or White Castle or In N Out when I lived in L.A.) or pizza, or sometimes sushi

 

[njc]

Anything and everything bad, usually chocolate. BEST chocolate in the world.... Scharffen Berger Mocha Bar... has little bits of coffee bean... oh goodness....

HECK TO THE YES! They''re my PMS pal too! When I can''t get good ones, I improv with Hershey''s "Take 5" candy bar (they have SOME pretzel in ''em .. enough to get by)

It''s the only time I like big, thick, juicy cheeseburgers too!

 

[MissGotRocks]

Oh, it''s chocolate for sure! Just about any kind. One of the fattest things I can do is mix peanuts with Nestle Semi-Sweet Morsels.

My all time favorite though is peanut M&M''s followed by chocolate covered peanuts.

Then there is trail mix or hot fudge sundaes.

I like to sneak and eat it after everyone has gone to bed. Then it''s really good!

PMS just gets worse the older you get - yuck!

 

[anchor31]

I generally have carbs and sugar cravings... Pasta, chocolate and ice cream.

 

[ladykemma]

when i had periods i craved tomatoes and chocolate. and drinking water like crazy.

 

[JenStone]

At all other times I don''t like chocolate - it''s regularly too sweet for my liking. But when I''m PMSing I crave it like crazy! I also crave Haagen Dazs Mango Sorbet and all kinds of carbs.
