So, I was wondering why I was craving Marmite so much...

[EmyDra]

At the moment, if I'm offered a meal choice of something or a Marmite sandwich - I will pick a marmite about 80% of the time.

I've got through an entire squeezy jar in less than 2 weeks, I average two marmite sandwiches a day.

I'm eating one right now.

Don't get me wrong - usually I'm a bit of a fan, I occasionally fancy it but I find I get sick of it quite quickly. I find myself actually needing a 'marmite hit' by basically plastering both sides of the bread in the stuff so that I'm overwelmed by it.

I know there's folic acid in it, so figured maybe my body just needed a bit more of that - but turns out it has Riboflavin as well, which is something us pregnant women need a bit more of for the babies development

My body must reconise this is a good way or obtaining the vitamin and is as such making me relentless crave it

The only downside is the salt content being quite high, but low fat and very low sugar is all good, I find I perfer it on brown bread too.

Anyone else wanna spread the marmite love?

lol yeh me i love marmite i always eat it on toast and i did all the way through being pregnant with my son and i would rather have that than a meal people used to laugh at me saying baby will come out eating marmite on toast. I dont usually like it in sandwiches but this time i am eating sandwiches with marmite aswell lol!

Oooo I loveeee marmite, but I love Bovril more! I put it on my toast in the morning, it's sooooooo good! I wonder what's in Bovril lol. I really fancy some now, but am going to have to settle for my chicken & bacon pasta bake

I've decided to keep my empty jars and see how many I have in pregnancy. The LAST jar I had lasted about 15 months just for comparason.

My Dad loves Bovril, its like meat-marmite? The non-vege version. Probably good things in that too, like unusual vitamins that your body thinks are best obtained with Bovril!

I'm like that with Bovril lol, I'm always so tempted to do it

 

[Hannaaisha]

Marmite has folic acid and Vitamin B12 so its really good.. Or maybe just because you want alcohol and marmite is made from the leftovers of beer production!
