1. Burgers
A sudden and intense craving for cheeseburgers is an indication that your body needs iron and essential fatty acids. To satisfy your body’s need for iron, try dark leafy greens, such as spinach or Swiss chard. These vegetables may be a more healthful option if your diet is high in fat and carbohydrates. An occasional burger is OK, but try incorporating small amounts of red meat into your regular diet so you don’t go overboard when you indulge this craving. Consider adding small amounts of lean beef into a vegetable soup or a sprinkle of lean ground beef into a bean chili. Walnuts and flaxseed are rich in iron, protein and fatty acids. Furthermore, you can substitute legumes, tofu and beans for red meat as a healthy alternative.
