Granted, I’m only about a month into practice, but I have had the following cravings after classes:

hot pastrami and provolone on rye with spicy mustard
spicy garlic chicken wings
tacos with hot sauce
habanero jack cheese

Hrmmmmmm… 😉

One interesting thing for me, though, is that food tastes *much* better after class. Especially the pastrami sandwich – it was the best one I have *ever* had!

a donut king store is right above ours !!
PS the cravings after class is a good thing. that means your adrenals have not been over taxed shutting down your digestion and desire to eat. your system is calm saying we just worked… feed me!LOL (the way it should work)

I think you are working up a good appetite in there and eventually your interest in high fat salty foods will decrease.
You might even want to concientiously switch to a tuna salad sandwich. Maybe even a fruit smoothie to replenish yourself.
Enoy!
