consumption and craving in the case with sweets,  high-fat foods, starchy foods, and fast food.

For example, in a 2014 study  titled “Food cravings, food intake,  

and weight status in a community-based  sample” published in Eating behaviors,  

the researchers gathered 646 people, with  an average age of 29.5 years and an average  

BMI of 27.3. The participants filled  out some questionnaires, which helped  

the researchers understand what kinds of foods  they craved and how often they ate those foods.

The results showed that the higher the person's  BMI, the more they experienced food cravings.  

Also, there was a strong link between  craving certain types of food (like sweets,  

high-fat foods, starchy foods, and fast food) and  actually eating these kinds of foods regularly.
