I get that frequently. And particularly some times I can't tolerate proteins - it's not that I "crave carbs" at certain times, I just can not stomach any of the proteins when it hits and then hunger drives me to other foods
I tend to scale back on protein for awhile when it gets bad, and then my taste for protein comes back.
Genrally when I am having this feeling I do better with ground beef than steak, protein scattered in soup, less chewing, more salt, more spices. Treat the meat more as a condiment.
Our local organic grocer has a nice variety of in house made sausages - chicken apple, spicy beef and my personal favorite is the " gyro" - which is a seasoned ground lamb. All are slightly more sodium etc. than the normal fare, but it can get me through the times when a hunk of meat is just bleeech. again in the easier to chew, more spices.
And I rely more on beans. I do a cold summer black bean, corn, avocado, tomato salad, or heat it with some taco seasoning and it is good as a taco salad or a burrito.
