It could also be low quality fruits or not enough calories. I take in about 15g of sodium a day, yet I still crave starch and I can eat it plain(no salt/spices).A "need for meat and starch" is a "need for salt". IMO. All of my research seems to be pointing towards this, that I've been doing the last 6 months now. I just need to prove this hypothesis at this point, which is going to require me to heavily salt my sugar drinks... arg. LOL. Most people don't heavily salt sugar (understandably so, I am having trouble doing this too, it's gross) and since salt is as important as sugar in hypothyroid, by eating sugar alone you find you get massive salt cravings (disguised as meat/starch cravings).
