Need some sweet ideas!

Hi everyone I just wanted to say my fitness pal has really been helping me and I've been definitely seeing some changes. My downfall though would have to be sweets. It's to the point where I'm willing to build my calories for the day around having a jelly filled doughnut I was wondering if anyone had some healthier, affordable sweet tooth fixes for this college student?

I love fat free Fudge pops and also jello gelatin with light whip cream. Another goodie for me is yogurt raisins or yogurt pretzels. Today I had a yummy cookie with lunch....because its my rest day so I had a treat.
As long as you have it in moderation you will be good to go

For a low-cal sweet treat I really like fat free yogurt (my favorite brand is only 80 calories) and pop secret 100 calorie kettle corn. Fruit is sweet and a healthy option. It you love ice cream and don't want to give it up, you can keep ice cream sandwiches or individual ice cream bars in the freezer (they can range from 90-200 calories each, easy portion control since they're prepackaged). Coffee or tea sweetened with something like Splenda or Truvia can sometimes hit the spot, too, as well as low-cal hot chocolate. Oatmeal is a good option. And there are quite a few interesting lower cal options here in the recipe forum if you like to cook/bake.

I have been on a low-carb diet and for the sweets I like sugar free Jell-O with whip cream. Nice thing about Jell-O is that it comes in so many different flavors that you don't get tired of it. Also, I mixed raspberry and lemon flavors and swear it is the best flavor ever. Jelly-filled doughnut sounds great, but I know payback will be hell.

I sympathize since i have a horrible sweet tooth, too! A meal is not complete unless I've had just a little something sweet. Yhrough the years I've found the following to be very satisfying:

SlimFast Snack bars--Peanute butter Crunch flavor- 100 cal and tastes almost like a butterfinger!

Do you have a Trader Joe's store in your area? They have several good things:

Coffee latte or raspberry/cream frozen bars--90 cal each

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies in 100 cal individual packs--almost better than many regular oatmeal cookies!

Would love to hear other's good finds for sweets!

one of my favorates as of late is take a cup of any lowfat yogurt of your choice, I really love key lime pie flavor, and take a half sheet of graham crackers crumbled up and add to the yogurt. it is awesome and under 150 calories.
