Now days I have very hard cravings of food that's high in salt and sugar, like I want to eat something salty and crispy, I am having these cravings from a month and dur to this my weight is getting out of control. Can you help me with information on it. I work from 5 pm to 3 am, I eat my first meal or anything eatable of the day around 3-4 pm, then the most hard irresistible craving kick in after 3 am when I reach home. I try to fight it but I can't, I have medicines, I have diet plans, I have lot of things but the most I want to know is why. I know this eating is something abnormal for me and this is have something to do with my degrading health and weight gain.

Sleep deprivation can cause food cravings. Take some rest from night shift and see if cravings still persist.

Hello, sleep deprivation with micro nutrient deficiency can make you crave for such things. Also if the dirt is not balanced with carbs and protein this can be common.
