I am normally not a fan of "diet" foods, but i'm all for low calorie versions of "bad" foods. Please share yours! I have a few to share myself and to get the most accurate calories i will even put the brands that i used.

Personal Pizza
Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins- Brownberry 100 cal
Natural Pizza Sauce 1/8 cup- Great Value 15 cal
2% Mozzarella Shred Cheese 1/3 cup- Fit & Active 95 cal
Turkey Pepperoni 7 slices- Hormel 30 cal
total= 240 cal
i cook the sandwich thin on 350 for about 5-7 mins depending on desired crispness.
i take it out of the oven and add 1/8 cup of sauce evenly. [ i prefer cheese over sauce]
i add most of the 1/3 cup of cheese and then put the 7 pepperonis on and then top it with the rest of the cheese.
i put in back in the oven for 10-15 mins depending on how done you like the toppings.
enjoy!

i think parfaits look good, but i don't like yogurt so i came up with a
Pudding Parfait!
Sugar Free Vanilla Pudding- Snack Pack 60 cal
Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding- Snack Pack 70 cal
Little less than half a banana- 45 cal
1/3 cup of Honey Crunch 'n oats cereal- Millville 55 cal
total=230 cal
[granola is very high in cal and fat by adding the cereal you get the granola taste without the bad!]
i have a small fancy cup to make it look fancy.
i take the chocolate pudding and add it to the bottom of the cup then i slice the banana into pieces and add some pieces on top the of pudding and then put some cereal on top of the banana. Next, i add the vanilla pudding and top it with banana slices and the rest of the cereal. I put it in the fridge to chill it for about 15 mins.
