Same thing happens to me; I'll get a massive craving for peanut butter and easily consume an entire family-sized jar in a week. And just like you I'll get over it and go months without.
I wonder what causes this? Not enough protein in my diet?
You probably have plenty of protein in your diet. Requirements aren't that high for it. They're not a complete protein either but easily become one when paired with stuff most of us eat anyway.
They're pretty decent for b vitamins and things like copper (which is used for iron absorption).
Long story short you probably just like PB. I mean it's nice stuff but easy to get sick of.
Could just be your body trying to maintain weight and getting a big craving for some thing calorie DENSE
