A food craving is an intense desire to consume a particular food, as opposed to food in general. Food cravings are especially common in people following structured diet plans, and often interfere with the best of intentions to adhere to a particular style of eating. Foods with higher sugar glucose, such as chocolate, are often more craved than foods with lower sugar glucose, such as bread. Food cravings are also commonly seen in pregnant women. The craving of non-food items is called pica.
