As stated above. I can go months without eating an egg, for example, and suddenly crave eggs benedict for breakfast everyday.
Good thing is my dietitian is aware of this executive dysfunction/quirk/habit and works closely with me to help me out planning meals in a way that works me.
Right now I am on a soup kick: Soup, soup, soup everyday, all day.
ETA A word
Growing up with an eating disorder fucks up hunger cues among other things, then add food insecurity to the mix and it gets complicated. Intuitive eating doesn’t work for some people.
Yes but getting cravings, in general, does not a dysfunction make.
Especially if there’s an easily fixable underlying issue. Like how many people reading this recognise themselves to have a weird thing about chewing ice? At least on occasion?
It’s pretty common and an indicator of possible anemia.
I agree with you that craving something is not a dysfunction. I was makig a reference to my own executive dysfunction and how it interferes with meals/feeding but I think I didn’t do it properly. Language barrier and what not.
By “executive dysfunction”, do you mean sometimes craving eggs?
Are you getting enough vitamin D?
