Doesn't happen to me. I usually crave some food category (like fish for example) and that's what i needed.
If you pretty frequently crave fish, you should probably take a vitamin D supplement.
Basically your body knows that fish oil is rich in vitamin D.
I listened to a lecturer about some research on nutrition from early 20th century and one had kids who were freely offereda wide diet, so they could take whatever they happened to crave for. Some might grab a handul of salt and put it in their mouths but then that would be enough, probably spitting half away at least. Then they continue with fruit and water or something.
One kid had rickets and while the others kids never touched fish oil, this kid craved it and took healthy glugs. For like a few weeks or months I don't remember, then he got cured of the rickets and never wanted fishoil again.
Wanting snacks is like the most basic, it's just basically your body yelling "brainfuel (glucose), now", and that varies way more throughout the day than say deficiencies in micronutrients like vitamin D.
Also the kids never ate like too much salt despite grabbing it by the hand. It was early 20th century but they tested sodium level and whatnot imo.
So yeah eat some vitamin D bro. I take 50ug a day as I live pretty far up North.
You should probably be taking like 50,000. It is very hard to absorb through the gut.
You're probably thinking of IUs rather than ug but even then 50k is way too much:

50,000ug is 2,000,000 IUs, in other words way too much!
