    Skip it. You don't need it. The craving will pass. The calories won't.

    I completely disagree with not giving into cravings. I feel so much better budgeting my calories for cravings rather than denying myself. That doesn't mean I give into every craving. I crave carbs and sweets too much, so I try to counter act that by making sure I eat enough protien. I also come up with substitutions whenever possible. Right now, chocolate teddy grahams are my chocolate fix. Candies are great if they work, but small chocolate bites make me want more.

    When I have a chocolate/sweet craving, I eat a cliff protein bar. They are pretty sugary, sadly... sometimes I only eat half...but the reason they are a go-to is that the 10-20 g protein will keep me going til the next meal.

    Otherwise, I will eat half a Green and Black mini dark chocolate bar. Only about 140 cal and a surprisingly only 5g of sugar. I feel like the fact that it's low sugar will keep me from craving more sweets. So far so good!
