Do you crave certain foods when stressed

[wishesuponastar]

when I'm stressed I eat less, no cravings.

 

[TLSnell1981]

Not just certain foods...mostly everything. Thankfully, I'm not stressed too often.

Chocolate in any shaper or form, even cooking chocolate if necessary

It depends on the type of stress I have. Sometimes I don't crave anything and I don't want to eat at all. Other times I crave mac and cheese with bacon in it! Yum!!

isn't the entire term "comfort food" made because its food you crave when you're stressed?

 

[parrothead365]

I don't eat much when I'm stressed, my husband on the other hand eats chocolate lots of chocolate.

Yes and it's super weird. If I have a stressful morning at work, I always get a Filet O'Fish and fries from McDonald's. It always helps and I have no idea why.

[Sabeking]

Chips!!!

Yes, yes, yes. We have a deli in my area that sells a grilled sandwich consisting of a fried chicken cutlet, mozzarella, russian dressing, and bacon. If I get too stressed out I head there and get one.

That sounds good considering I would kill for fried chicken

Ice Cream, I just love it

 

[LilyWDW]

Red meat is the main one I crave when I am stressed. That and many of the items I can't have because they would make me ill (medical condition). I get stressed and it's like my body goes "eat all the bad foods so you can be stressed AND in pain!".

but mostly I over eat or just stop paying attention to how much I eat and drink.

I would just stay busy. Your mom will be fine. Flying is safer than driving in a car.
