I have similar problems maybe some light popcorn?? thats pretty yummy
sprinkle a little sugar in the bag and shake..its actually pretty good tasting0 -
Sugar free chocolate pudding does the trick for me! Can't even tell there isn't sugar0
-
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.0

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 packs0 -
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:0

weight watchers has a variety and one of them is sweet/salty. they are really good10

Trail mix. It's sweet & salty.0

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.0 -
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.0 -
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.0
-
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).0
-
carrots and hummus! sweet and salty right there.0
-
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.0 -
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.0

You are my new best friend0 -
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.0 -
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!!!!0
-
Sweet orange chunks sprinkled with salt are actually really good. Same with tomatoes.0
-
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!0

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...0
