    Built Bars!! They taste like a candy bar, but because they are low carb (I think 4 net), they do not spike insulin causing further cravings. Only 110 calories and a whole bunch of protein. They are pricey, and can only be ordered through their own site, but to me, totally worth the $. Lots of flavors to choose from -I like to freeze mine which slows me down when eating them.

    I buy the Ghirardelli 86% dark chocolate squares that are individually wrapped. They’re 60 calories each, and I can usually manage to keep it to 1 or 2 squares per day. Or if my husband buys cookies that I like, I might have a single cookie and it’s part of my “after dinner” calories. Sometimes fruit is good too—especially berries, since they’re relatively low calorie.

    I second the chocolate hummus idea. I was skeptical as can be, but it's really great. I dip pretzels in it.

    I have 1/4 cup of ice cream with nuts every night (150 calories). Or a square of high quality chocolate (35 calories). I like to eat, but I don't need a lot.

    Homemade icecream using banana and any fruit you desire. Blend in like a nutribullet, then freeze. I also eat a lot raisins.

    bit of dark chocolate, crumpet with peanut butter and lemon curd. OR a bit of greek yoghurt with some fruit, little bit of honey.

    I started buying Halo Top ice cream. It's definitely more icy than milky, but it's something.

    If you have to have chocolate (like me) look no further than ChocZero.
    They have thee best sugar free chocolate on the planet.
    I buy nothing but ChocZero.
    They have a website and Amazon carries it. Their website is cheaper.
    Retailmenot.com usually has coupon codes.
    Free shipping after $34 I believe.
    Awesome customer service.
    No. I do not work for them but wish I did!!!
    You won’t be disappointed!!! 💞💞💞
