Do you eat more meat during times of stress?

It's just something I have noticed, amongst family members and myself....during stressful situations, we seem to crave meat? I'm not sure if this is a normal bodyies reaction to the stress, or we are just voracious neurotic carnivores over here.

 

Seriously, during the last month when we were going through a possible financial bottom-out, we (husband & I) had meat with almost every meal-and we snacked on wings like crazy....

I crave carbs when I'm stressed out...you know, the whole "comfort food" thing.

Chocolate. Maybe that's a kind of meat

[Jilly Bean]

No, I crave bad fried food - like Carl's Jr. Six Dollar Burger with fries. BAD.

Potatoes, in liquid form

I crave red meat during a certain time of the month, but that's about it. In seriously stressful situations, I lose my appetite, to the point where sometimes, I don't bother eating at all.

When I am stressed I get those butterflies in the stomach and can't eat at all.

Emotional stress makes me lose my appetite as DLish and TBF have said. But other kinds of stress have me headed straight for the Twinkies.

Only thing I eat/drink more in times of trouble is beer and rum. That tends to make me feel better.

 

I always crave meat, so I've never noticed a difference.

Hell yeah! Stress is a huge factor for me to eat meat and other things, hey everything there is really...control that by working out more, it works.

I wish I was as manly as you, Eddie.

 

Aha.

The opposite happens to me. When I'm stressed I don't eat. I think for most it goes either way.
