EGG CRAVING QUESTION

[poohb3ar]

This sounds crazy, but for over a month now i've been craving eggs. mainly hard boiled eggs, which until i've only been able to tolerate. NO WAY i'm pregnant. no other change in diets or habits.
could i be deficient in some vitamin or something? hate to bother dr. with what seems a silly question. but it really has been weird!
thanks!

I call it The Jones.
From time to time (maybe once every two months) I'll get hit with a burger Jones or a pizza Jones, even though I know they'll make me feel sick later (that's the price of a healthy diet, you just can't stand fast food after a while).

love it bob, will that be 1 egg jones or a dozen egg jones?
how about fries with that? LOL! cluck! cluck! i think i ate 3 today! so far non of them were the recalled ones

poohb3ar, I wouldn't necessarily equate your craving with a deficiendy ( which can certainly be the case sometimes) Just Go For It! Eggs are in my top 5 "best" foods. Cheap, medium fat, fairly nuetral pH (for a protein), and contains lecithin to emulsify the cholesterol.

I am so glad to hear of the "all clear" on eggs being a healthy protein. I am going to be bumping up my protein (well heck I hardly eat ANY now) next week, and eggs are an inexpensive form of protein. I will be eating mine fried hard (NO I never have/will use fat to fry them- I use nonstick skillet, if you buy good ones, can fry them hard, have to use lower heat, but NO butter/fat etc)

And JMHO-when I "crave" truly CRAVE a healthy food, I listen to my body, get that food and eat it. Personally, it keeps me on the "healthier eating" track.

I (L) hard boiled eggs, eat them at least 3x a week
