Our bodies often know what they need. Cravings are often how they communicate it. Electrolytes taste amazing when you need them.

Interestingly, our brains seem to contain a fairly good lookup between smell and nutrition. An interesting diet I've seen is to get a good selection of fruit and vegetables. For each meal, sniff them. If any smell particularly good to you, base a meal off of them.
