i know I should be avoiding sugar, but for me feeling deprived can lead to terrible binges... I have learnt that the hard way!
So instead of depriving myself I'm trying to integrate a treat once every few days to stop the cravings. They actually taste better after a break from them :)

Here is what I have found surprisingly low in calories;

Marshmallow: about 98 calories in FIVE big ones
Jelly Beans: 100 calories in 25!
Meringue nests: 51 calories in one.
Milky way: 97 calories


Everyone should post their Low Cal surprises/sweet treats and help people with a sweet tooth curb those binges!!!!

    I grew up in england, moved to america ten years ago. I miss meringe nests now! They are awesome melt in your mouth treats! What about iced gems? As a child I couldn't eat chocolate, preservatives, enumbers and iced gems were good.

    70%+ chocolate is ~50 calories per 10g piece. That's my "go to" if I have a craving.

    Skinny Cow 150 cal cups - strawberry cheesecake :)
    Quaker breakfast cookies - 180 cals
    Mini packs of nerd candies - 60 cals

    Though I gotta say, after avoiding sugar for a while, I find cottage cheese packs more satisfying. I still can't get enough sweet iced tea, though.

    I have a bag of percy pigs in my drawer at work at the moment. 30 cals each and great for a little sugar fix.

    There are haters on MFP who will have a go at us for wanting sweeties, but I love sugar and if I deprive myself, I will want it more!!

    This is what I go to.

    Otherwise, I am completely satisfied with the little tiny tootsie rolls...I think 7 of them is only 70 cals?! I'm talkin the mini midgees here!
