    I fit it into my macros. Every day. Every week. Every month. :flowerforyou:

    Hear, hear! :drinker:

    Dark chocolate, longer workouts, eating crap and not having calories left for the good food (so the good food gets skipped, it happens) and, yes, even going over. I figured out my maintenance calories so when I go over my deficit calories I don't feel like I blew it unless I go totally over what my maintenance calories would be.

    In all honesty it sounds stupid, but if you have some vanilla extract, drop it in some milk, it's a healthy vanilla milkshake, it's creamy and sweet

    I tend to crave red meat rather than sweets, but my answer to any craving is to feed it. If you want a sweet, have a sweet. Just watch your portions. I eat ice cream several times a week (1/2 cup on a sugar cone) It hasn't hurt me a bit.

    I always keep a few really good quality chocolate bars on hand (not hersheys, the good stuff). I eat and savor it one square at a time when I feel the need. If my husband doesn't get to it, one bar can last me at least a week or two (or longer, depending on my sweet needs).

    It's all about quality over quantity.

    I don't control it. Basic calories In VS calories out. I grab a king size fast break 460 calories 0_o and eat it as a meal.

    I eat within reason. If I feel my cravings are headed toward binge, I grab a cup of vinegar cucumbers out the fridge. The sourness normally kills the sweet craving I have.

    Freeze some bananas. Blend them in your food processor with some cocoa. Eat dairy-free chocolate banana ice cream and purr like a kitten. I don't restrict my calories ever, but this is a delicious alternative to less nutritious sweet goodies.

    Love that!!

    I just keep a pack of the fun size Hershey's Special Dark in the cupboard. One little bar isn't going to kill you...rather dark chocolate is good for your heart. :)

    It's just all about keeping things small.

    A few chocolate chips, dark chocolate bar, or ice cream work well for me. Just make room in you diary for it, or exercise

    If I'm craving something like chocolate, candy, or rice krispies, I replace the craving with sweet fruits. I get these small purple grapes that are really sweet, buy a couple of red/yellow apples and pears and eat bananas almost daily. What is chocolate and confectionery at this point? Haha

    You can actually "cheat" and drink chocolate milk after a workout. Same thing goes for pancakes and eggs after a workout. It's actually a good post work out meal

    Trying this!

    I usually have a protein bar or some fruit and dark choc, just so I'm satisfying the sweet tooth but not eating something with no nutritional content!

    Sometimes only chocolate will do though, and then you just got to eat it and work it off.
