    toss a small sweet potato in tupperware.
    cover with cinnamon.
    microwave for 3-4 minutes (or more depending on size).
    open, mash, make everyone around you jealous.
    All of that win for 100 calories or so.

    Need to try this!

    I have mixed half of a no sugar added hot chocolate packet (about 60 cals) into plain or french vanilla greek yogurt. This way you get your chocolate fix at little expense plus protein to fight other sweet tooth cravings.

    Mesaure and mix your own trail mix with your favorite nuts dried fruit and chocolate chips. Store bought trail mix serving sizes can be so deceiving.

    Fruit with chocolate syrup also works for me sometimes.

    I usually try to allow for enough calories to have a small dessert every night, this way you don't feel like you are ever depriving yourself which results in fewer cravings over all.

    Cooking Light has some great lighter dessert recipes, usually they just use less sugar and butter and cream rather than replacing with artificial sweetners.

    Stripper cake is full of sugar but has no calories.

    I have to have chocolate from time to time. I like the 100 calorie fudge stripe cookies and chocolate fat-free pudding snack packs!

    Fruit helps curb those cravings for me. I saw one person mention sweet potato. That is great and carrots are surprisingly sweet when cooked.

    One really awesome thing to keep in mind, is that the longer you can go without eating the super sweet stuff, the less you seriously crave it. Your taste will also change a bit so that fruits and some of the sweeter veggies will seem sweeter and the really sugary stuff will be overpoweringly sweet.

    Ughh, I have the same problem, SUCH a sweet tooth. I really like popsicles, they are cold and delish and something like 40 cals! They also have these new popsicles with frozen yogurt, I got some of the creamsicle variety in cotton candy and watermelon and OMG, sooo good. And dark chocolate is actually good for you and your heart (in moderation) at higher cocoa content levels, so you are totally justified in having a square or 2 a day!

    Skinny Cow is my favorite when I want something "bad" like ice cream or chocolate.

    Baked apples. Core the apple and slice most of the way down (into quarters) but not through. Line the cups of a muffin tin with foil. Put in the apples and sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake until soft (sorry, not sure what temp or how long- it's been a while since I've made this), and enjoy! You can add a scoop of low-fat ice cream or frozen yogurt too if you want, after it's baked.

    Another idea: Low-fat ricotta cheese. Mix in Splenda (or whatever sugar sub you like), cocoa powder, and cinnamon.

    skinny cow has fudge bars that are only 100 calories and they hit the spot when in need of a sweet.

    Popcorn with melted white chocolate only use one block and it's a nice salt and sweet treat.

    Pudding with whip cream is low in calories.

    Every night we allow ourselves one little treat. Mine is 1 of the tiny Hershey dark chocolate candy bars and it's about 40 cals i think and my hubby has 1 twizzler. every night to keep us from going nuts without the things we love.

    I use my different flavor protein powders to make all types of treats...no bake cream cheese cake, peanut butter chocolate balls or bars, oatmeal cookies, etc. They are amazing, low cal, no sugar, low carb sweet snacks. I have recipes if you want.
