Sugar free chocolate pudding does the trick for me! Can't even tell there isn't sugar

You can make popcorn in the microwave. 1/4 cup kernels in a brown paper lunch bag for 3 minutes. Then I use a zero calorie buttery spray.

I don't bother. I have a huge sweet tooth anyway so I always have sugar in my house and I ensure that I keep 150 of my cal for my sugar craving every day. I've just adjusted what I buy...

These are my favorites

Skinny cow candy is 110-120cal depending on which type
Skinny cow ice cream - really any type, the highest is 150 cal
Pretty much any frozen yogurt is 110-140 for a serving
Buy yogurt and popcicle "makers"...just freeze for a yummy treat! I buy the kind with cookie crumbles...one container makes 2 pops
The sweet rice cakes - chocolate and creme brulee...I buy the snack packs which are about 100 cal/package or you can buy a big bag and count out..i think its around 130 for 18 rice cakes or something like that
100 calorie snack packs

It may sound strange, but cantaloupe with salt sprinkled on it is very tasty. As for me, I always crave oranges during my totm :laugh:

Trail mix. It's sweet & salty.

I do avocado pudding. I have said it in lots of different posts but I really have found it has been my life saver.

1/2 avocado
3 tbsp cocoa
3-5 tbsp honey
a small amount of milk substitute or water

I have also used the vanilla powder and made this. It makes a very good vanilla pudding as well but it is green. I found that my sweet tooth was not nearly as bad. I still crave high fat foods but this curbed it and I didn't crave it further. I get the hungries really bad about a week prior and I am in desperate pain. It wasn't nearly so bad this time around.

Dark chocolate. Melt it and use it as a dip for pretzels. You can also dip strawberries or other fruit in it.

Or... Coconut milk ice cream with some peanut butter and strawberries.

Or roasted cocoa almonds. I forget the actual name of them, but they are delicious. Unfortunately for me, I find it very difficult to just eat one serving.

Just a few suggestions. My cravings don't usually have to do with my cycle (it doesn't seem to affect me much at all), but I do crave salty and sweet things sometimes.

I like watermelon or cantaloupe with a little bit of salt so I get my sweet and salty together. Sounds weird but it really is good.

For the salty I like pistachios 1.5 oz is 130 calories & for the sweet I like dark chocolate infused with cayenne ( I can only eat 2 squares at a time).

carrots and hummus! sweet and salty right there.

I go with

Yoplait Light Yogurt - tons of flavors and very sweet for only 90 calories a serving. You could also crush up a few fat free pretzel sticks in this to add some salty too it and it wouldn't be to many extra calories.

Skinny Cow - has some delicious Ice Creams for only 100 calories, and they have some candy bars that are 110 cals(the peanut butter one tastes like a Nutty Bar, so so ssooooo good!!)

Weight Watcher's also has some good ice creams for 100 calories.

Special K has some really good bars and the crisps - one of the bars is a Chocolate Pretzel one that helps me with my salty/sweet tooth at the same time.

Pretzel Sticks - I found Fat Free ones at Wal-Mart and you get 39 sticks for 100 calories.

Berries are really nice for the sweet tooth too.

Have some dark chocolate- though they say what you are really craving is protein. I find that a really high protein breakfast (more than my norm) during that time helps stave off cravings.

I keep weight watchers ice cream bars in the freezer down in the cellar (out of sight out of mind)

I also keep small pieces of candy hidden in the back of a cabinet in a really pain in the *kitten* to reach location (hidden so others wont eat them PITA location so I have to really want it to go get it)

I also sometimes will make this-1/2 cup plain fat free chobani, 1/2 tsp min extract and 1 tbsp dark chocolate chips

As for salty I might make some sweet potato fries or pop corn and pour a ton of salt or if I really want it walk to the convenience store and buy Doritoes or pretzels or something ( the small 99 cent bag) I cant keep chips in the house no matter where I put them I will eat them.

Cocoa roasted almonds are pretty good...about 23 almonds per serving at about 150 calories per serving. I eat 1/2 a serving and that satisfies my cravings sometimes. Also, they only have 1 gram of sugar per serving...I bought them while pregnant when I had gestational diabetes to help with chocolate cravings. Good luck!!!!

Sweet orange chunks sprinkled with salt are actually really good. Same with tomatoes.

AngelsInThighHighs

Veggie straws are AMAZING!!! They are healthy only 140 calories per serving, about 38 straws they are crunchy and salty and delicious haha. I also LOVE Dove dark chocolate 5 pieces 210 calories sign me up!

It's a little labor intensive, and I don't know the calorie count.. Make peanut butter cracker sandwiches with Ritz.. then dip them in melted chocolate Almond Bark...
