    You might try a plate of fresh fruits and cheese wedges. Remember, the best foods are sometimes the simple ones. A few fresh strawberries, some green grapes, a few apple slices and a cheese wedge. Perfection!

    Well, what kind of calorie range are you looking for and what kinds of things do you like?

    I like:

    Small panna cotta with fresh fruit
    Lightly candied nuts
    85%+ dark chocolate
    A cake cone with breyer's natural ice cream
    Strawberries and homemade, barely sweetened whipped cream

    But yeah, what flavors do you like?

    Splenda packets.

    That will make you crave sugar, and you'll end up overeating later.

    Splenda is the overprotective parent, you're the unsupervised co-ed.

    I take splenda in my tea/coffee and it's never made me crave sugar......maybe I'm just weird.

    YUM. Also would suggest a sliced ripe pear with a drizzle of agave nectar or honey, or an assortment of berries with a small dollop of mascarpone. And, if you have a grill, fresh grilled pineapple is DELICIOUS. It gets a milder, sweeter flavor after you grill it.

    Mix a DRY angel food cake mix with a can of your favorite pie filling (I used cherry no sugar added). Mix those 2 things together, bake at the temp the cake mix box says and enjoy. You DO use cooking spray on the pan.

    How about a baked apple? Core an apple, chop up some nuts and fruits of your choice and mix with some honey(could also add some oats). Bake in the oven until the apple is soft.

    Or maybe some chocolate mousse: whip up a few egg whites until medium to stiff peaks form, gently fold in some cocoa, sweetener of choice(and maybe some vanilla). Scoop into a pretty glass or bowl(everything is better wen prettyfied). This is very skinny so you could add some toppings if you like. =)

    take some ricotta cheese (good quality one, I suggest Belgioioso or similar). Fresh is even better. Add some sugar (to your taste) and some liquor (limoncello would be perfect, but any other can do) and freeze it in cups. Remove it from the freezer before dinner and by the end of your meal it will be soft... sprinkle it with cinnamon.

    It tastes a bit like gelato, but way lighter...

    Enjoy

    Fruit with whipped cream is the healthiest dessert that I can think of.
