How often do you have "treats"/ what is your fave?

I have treats nearly every day. I find if I store up a 'treat day' then I will completely binge on that day whereas if I allow myself a small pleasure each day (within my calories) I crave much less. I do try to make my treats of the healthier variety i.e dark chocolate rather than a Cadbury's caramel.

My mini-treats include:
Couple of squares of dark chocolate
Pot of Shape yoghurt in caramel, chocolate or white chocolate (much more added sugar than I would normally have)
9Bar Flax Seed Bars - Very yum and relatively good for you (lots of healthy fats) but feels like eating a flapjack
Homemade Peanut Butter protein bars

Ben and Jerry's chocolate fudge brownie *dribbles* and as often as i can get away with.

I have a "treat day" once or twice a week (otherwise I go insane and binge lol). Usually Monday &/or Friday.

^ I do the same. There's usually baking, candy or soda somewhere in our house so once or twice a week I allow myself to have some and not feel 'guilty' about it. It's usually chocolate cupcakes, Coke zero or licorice allsorts :] I actually just found a recipe for a licorice allsort slice and I'm definitely going to make that one day!

Quality ice cream daily ... not much, just enough to appreciate it

I have my freddo bar every night wirh a cup of tea in bed!:laugh:

totally this

cadburys curly wurlys i put them in the firdge so they take forever to eat yumyum i have a bar every couple of days!

I have a little treat most days:
a few dark chocolate almonds
1/4-1/2 cup ice cream/gelato (depending how it fits my numbers)
chocolate oatmeal cookie
a bit of chocolate, usually dark

Any day I manage to get to physical therapy, I reward myself by getting an onion bagel with scallion cream cheese from the very proper kosher place across the street. Proper flavor, proper texture, proper *quantity* of spread (like a sandwich, not like a tiny bit for bare moisture on the 'bread')... and completely out of the way in travel so there's no real temptation, and not something I'm able to make for myself.

This isn't a calorie treat for having exercised and thus I get to eat more, this is a sensory pleasure reward for having done something difficult. At most, it's twice a week, as I alternate going to pt twice one week, once the next... and rarely manage that every month. (Fibro/pain issues plus timing of aide availability)

I'm somewhat lucky, in that foods I grew up with as treats were things like steak vs ground meat, or out-of-season fruit, rather than sweets/empty calories.

My treats are pretty boring. Shredded wheat and almond milk (no sugar). Cheese on toast (no spread) is another. I feel good when I eat either of these and could eat them everyday. The regular treat foods that people like make me feel ill. I don't feel deprived though!

I wouldn't say boring, I would just say that it's normal food instead of a treat. Shredded wheat with almond milk is called breakfast. :laugh:

My treat is usually red wine in the evenings and a 90cal pb fiber bar if I'm still hungry.

I have treats most days.

Some days I eat moronic treats like Krispy Kreme (yesterday), other days I'll have a bit of good quality dark chocolate. Tomorrow I've got 200 cals set aside for a little slice of coffee walnut cake.

I "treat myself" whenever and to whatever I want LOL --I just make sure that I don't go over my calories/fat/protein

Cheese on toast is not boring. It's a snack fit for the gods!

I always save myself at least 150 calories for the end of the night because I usually want to munch on something around 8-9pm. With my work schedule my meals are too spread out and I feel I need that little something at the end of the day.

I found pound cake for 145 calories a slice, I usually do those mini-bags of microwave popcorn for 100 calories, I make my own smoothies for 125-165 calories. last nights smoothie tasted like a creamsicle with pineapple, orange juice, and pineapple-coconut yogurt, and skim milk

I tend to crave a "real" treat once a month. I gave in today to a peanut butter toffee chocolate pumpkin for 160 calories. I ate 2 servings of doritos last time.

Luckily, I always manage to fit my "real" treats into my daily intake. I think its the fact that I allow myself a snack at the end of the night that doesnt make me crave insanely then binge.
