I tend to get intense salt cravings at night, to the point where I will chug salted broth and eat plain table salt. I try to avoid salting my food excessively, but I find that using a lot of salt on my food helps me consume enough salt to feel satisfied - otherwise I will keep eating trying to get enough sodium. (It's either that or I might end up eating something extremely salty like string cheese.)
I don't really like this and would prefer an alternative. Any suggestions?

A while back there was an article that said salt will make you hungrier.
www.nytimes.com/2017/05/08/health/salt- ... fects.htmlNew studies of Russian cosmonauts, held in isolation to simulate space travel, show that eating more salt made them less thirsty but somehow hungrier. Subsequent experiments found that mice burned more calories when they got more salt, eating 25 percent more just to maintain their weight.

How about trying celery with some hummus?
