there is also a lot of protein in peanut butter; when I did daycare it was always welcomed by the food care program because it was healthy and most kids would eat it. I use Skippy because it has less sugar than most and I love the crunchy. I was always told if you crave something (even when pregnant) it's because your body needs the nutrients in it. My mom has been dead for many years and I hadn't seen her since I was little anyways since dad decided to take us away but even as a pre-school age child I remember my mom eating banana and salad dressing (mayo) sandwiches and I eat them especially when I'm feeling lonely and I always think of my mom when I eat them; that's more of comfort than craving but sometimes that's why we eat; it doesn't always have to do with being hungry. If I could only eat when I was hungry I'd have no problem.
