SO I have a pretty bad sweet tooth. What do you guys eat to feed into the craving without adding lots of calories or carbs?

    Vanilla Greek Yogurt - sweet, low cal and tons of protein!
    South Beach Diet Snack Bars - Fudgy Chocolate Mint - so delicious! 100 calories, 5g sugar, 4g fat (2g sat), 6g protein. Pretty much a low-fat candy bar
    Fuji Apples / Red seedless Grapes / Oranges

    I'm not concerned with carbs at the moment, but my sweet tooth gets satisfied with these:

    big bowl of raspberries
    cut up honeycrisp or pink lady apples (cut up helps me feel like it lasts longer and is more "snacky")
    oatmeal with a bit of maple syrup (or the maple flavoured oatmeal)
    Dole Live Right Double Chocolate bites
    Skinny Cow Dreamy Clusters
    those greek yogurt frozen "cupcake' thingies from the recipe thread
    lemon yogurt/dream whip "pie"
    fibre one brownies
    Special K chocolate crisp bars

    I make my own chocolate protein smoothies every morning. I add in lots of healthy stuff, but at the end it just tastes like chocolate. :) And I have one miniature Hershey's dark chocolate bar every evening.

    If I can't fit anything into my macros, I eat one spoon of ice cream as I fix a bowl for my kids (and I don't log that bite, because I am a rebel like that). Otherwise, whatever will fit my calories and macros that I am in the mood for. A bowl of ice cream, 1/2 a hershey bar, a peice of fruit, etc.

    Dark Chocolate Hershey Kisses or Dove dark Chocolate (they are rich and I find I'm satisfied w/ 2 or 3)
    Kashi- Dark Chocolate Almond granola bars or the chocolate coconut one which is just like a candy bar (130 ish cal I believe)
    KIND bars (A little higher in cals 180-200) but full of good fats/protein.
    Skinny Cow Giant Chocolate Ice cream cones (DELISH for 150 cal)

    I use to have LARGE cravings for carbonated soda, but even the Diet soda isn't good for you! I started drinking the Flavored Sparkling water that you can find at Wal-Mart or any grocery store really, to curb my cravings....especially b/c I needed the sweetness! It totally works too! I have been doing this for almost a half of a year and I haven't touched a soda! P.S. it is ZERO EVERYTHING which is AWESOME!

    What I try to do:
    Apple/grapes/fruit sald: ~80 calories/cup
    Trail mix: 160 calories for 3 tablespoons
    Fudgsicles: 40 - 60 calories a piece.
    Yonanas: http://www.yonanas.com/, ~300 calories per 2-banana treat

    What I try to do isn't what I always actually do. ;)

    Chocolate; all kinds, as much as I can fit into my daily calorie goal after I've hit my targets for protein, fibre, and got a wide variety of other nutrients. Also, sometimes ice cream, chocolate oat milk or digestive biscuits.

    Tbh I just eat chocolate when I want it, as I keep calories to snack on after dinner. Usually little funsize bags of maltesers which are 98 calories.

    Frozen grapes are great during the summer, Dairy Queen has a fudge bar that is to die for, they also have an orange vanilla bar and they are weight watchers recommended, Nips carmel hard candies are 60 calories for 2 of them and they banish my sweet cravings, I also found skinny cow candies are only 120 calories and they help. I am a sweet-a-holic also. I also work at a DQ and I know they have lite smoothies that are low in calories.

    The biggest thing I did to curb my sweet tooth was cut out artifical sweeteners. It has helped a tun and cut my cravings in half. I don't remember ever drinking regular pop I just liked my diet coke. But I can honestly say that I haven't had any pop or artifical sweetners in about 2 weeks and it has helped a tun with the cravings. I have mainly been avoiding sweets like the plague I have no control over myself once I get a taste.

    I typically crave chocolate more than "something sweet". I go for super dark to get all the chocolately goodness for the least amount of calories/carbs. My favorite can be found at Whole Foods - it's Endangered Speices 88% cocoa... I break off one little squre and make it last over a few bites. Mmmm..so good :)
