Getting the Best of Food Cravings

There are many reasons why we crave certain foods — dietary habits, dieting, stress, poor sleep, medications, nutrient deficiencies, and other factors all play a role. Some cravings, especially for high sugar or high-fat foods, can be difficult to ward off. Instead of ignoring your cravings, Registered Dietician Amanda Kostro Miller discusses what your cravings might mean, and some healthy options that might provide exactly what your body is asking for.

*A health-promoting diet focuses on a variety of nutrient-dense foods, including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats from nuts and plant oils. Limit intake of both saturated fat and added sugars to less than 10% of your daily calories, and sodium to less than 2,300 mg per day. 2,000 calories a day is used for general nutrition advice, but your calorie and other nutrient needs may vary. For dietary guidance specific to you, consult a healthcare provider.
