Do cravings for specific kinds of food mean anything about the nutrients my body needs?

I think what you're getting at is akin to, does someone with an iron deficiency crave iron-rich foods (for example).

As some of the others stated, deficiencies sometimes correlate with cravings, but the foods craved don't necessarily have anything to do with the deficiency.  Your satiety hormones don't know that spinach is high in calcium, so they can't be that specific in cravings.
