Strange cravings for meat

Your body might be telling you that you aren't getting enough of some
nutrient. Are you getting enough protein? I used to get beef
cravings when I didn't eat enough protein. Another possibility is a
need for more iron.

A more obscure possibility is a need for creatine, which is mainly
provided in one's diet by red meat and fish. When I was lifting more
seriously (before my shoulder injury) I began supplementing creatine,
and I found my hunger for red meat declined a lot when I did so.

I find it that lately, I feel towards eating way more meat than I was
used to. I started wanting it yesterday. Today I spent 6 hours digging
dirt (making a garden) and then 2 hours walking. At the end I was
ravenous for some grilled meat, so I bought a couple of pieces at our
local grocery store (on the way back from my walk), grilled it and me
and my wife ate it. I ate lots, like 1/2 lbs of that great filet
mignon that I wanted to buy.

I used to not even like beef that much. These days I want to eat red
meat and eggs. All within my daily total food/calorie limit (I am
losing weight and I lost 45 lbs to date by walking and eating less and
no junk food/sugar), I just replace other things with meat. I guess it
could be related to my recent measurement of cholesterol with
cholestrak, which gave me a value of 128 (very low). Not sure what to
make of it.

By the way, we bought a very nice electric grilling machine at
walmart, for $34. It is much better than a gas grill, much cleaner and
there is no burning at the bottom etc.

When did you get the new grill?

I get cravings once in a while, usually they increase after I satisfy them
then I get sick of whatever it is and they go away.
