Yes! Get an angel food cake. Take a package of sugar free vanilla pudding, mix with 1 cup skim milk and a container of fat free cool whip. Slice the cake in half , fill with the pudding, stick top of cake back on and frost the entire cake with pudding. scatter some berries on. It is sooo good!!!

I agree with gangstagirl625. I LOVE LOVE the Biggest Loser Dessert Cookbook. It's really worth getting. It gives all the techniques and the calorie breakdowns and there's a ton of yummy stuff with regular ingredients from the grocery store. Plus lots of Biggest Loser tips and inspiration. My husband has 30 more lbs to lose, and has a real sweet tooth, so this book has been awesome for us!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I have a recipe for great chocolate chunk cookies at my blog. They're for a high protein diet, but they're lower calorie than most cookies I've seen. They have fat in them, but good for you omega fatty acids- very low saturated fat.

I completely agree - Devil's Food is the BEST! I like making these into cupcakes. It's waaay easier to limit myself to one serving!

If you like pudding, I like to make this:

1 large box of vanilla pudding, made following directions on box.
1 can of mandarin oranges, drained.
12 ounces (or so) of strawberries, sliced.
2 bananas, sliced.
1 container of fat free cool whip.

It's light, but filling, and satisfies my sweet tooth!
