Scientifically/biologically, why do we often crave something sweet after we’ve eaten salty things? It is just a learned response?

Sweet foods are often high calories for low volume. Easy to keep eating them even when you’re low on space.

If you skip sugar for long enough the cravings get less and you no longer expect it. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be finding room for fats at that point. Dark choc, (real cream) ice-cream, olives, greek yogurt etc are all great later in the night.
