    Cottage cheese with frozen mixed berries heated up in the microwave. Or cold cottage cheese with natural applesauce.

    This may also sound really strange, but I've been doing a glass of orange Metamucil at night before bed when I get a sweet craving. I personally really like the flavor (I'm weird), and the fiber kills your craving and hunger completely.

    I always have a banana a day (: i love peaches and raspberries/blackberries too! Or dark chocolate covered rice cakes, they always feel very desert-y to me so one or two is great after dinner.

    Dark chocolate covered rice cakes??! Okay, where can I found this NOW.

    My wife and I sit down every night and have a bowl of ice cream. 1 serving, mind you, not a tub (that's 1/2 cup of ice cream). It's in no way filling, but also isn't that bad for you and helps curb my sweet tooth during the day because I know that the ice cream is coming.

    I'm sure someone here will tell me how horrible that is, but the 70 lbs I've lost tells me you can do it and still lose weight.

    ONE SERVING!
    Totally agree.....

    Haha :) Moderation IS key! Maybe I shouldn't worry so much about allowing myself something sweet at the end of the day, in moderation.

    That's interesting! I always think of candy and ice cream as dessert. (I don't eat chips anyway.) It's funny how we can put negative connotations on words like that! I am trying to completely reevaluate my thinking.

    To the OP:
    I think SideSteel has it right with high protein desserts. That way you can satisfy your sweet tooth plus get more protein.

    I always like something sweet to end my day on as well. I've been known to have a slice of toast with almond butter, chopped macadamia nuts and a sprinkling of cinnamon. Sweet but not too sugary. :)

    I have a Luigi shaved ice almost every night. 100 calories and it takes a while to eat it so you are satisfied. The mango is the best!

    Or one of my new favorites is chocolate mini rice cakes with peanut butter. I use the PB2 (45 cals for 2 tbls) and make it runnier than regular pb and dip away. That's usually my afternoon snack at work.

    Nutella on a graham cracker.

    Or a handful of cocoa puffs. We don't eat chocolate cereal in our house for breakfast, but sometimes I'll buy it and have a handful of dry cereal if I'm craving chocolate later in the day.

    I often have a piece of Paleo bread (the coconut only 40 calories) or Cinnamon Carb Zero Bread from Julian's Bakery and put PB2 on it with one package of sweetner and some cinnamon in the powder when I making it. Sometimes I'll also add sugar free jelly on top like apricot or strawberry or fresh berries are great! This keeps the calorie count low, provides protein and fiber and satisfies my sweet tooth. The make PB2 in chocolate and that can be dressed up and put over sugar free fat free vanilla Kemp's frozen yogurt....GOOD STUFF!!!

    Fresh cut pineapple with soya ice cream.

    A brand I like is:
    www.swedishglace.com
    It's sometimes hard to find but worth searching.
    Don't measure by volume. Measure by weight.

    Sometimes I have a piece (25 g) of extra dark chocolate, only 140 kcal's and it satisfies my sweet / chocolate craving better then say milk chocolate does.
