What I like to do is take "unhealthy" foods and healthify them! They taste like cheat foods but they're actually not so bad.
Some examples of my personal favourites are:
- greek yogurt and flour two ingredient pizza with olive tapenade instead of pizza sauce (with spinach and mozzarella to top!)
- three ingredient pancakes (just 2 eggs and a banana with a pinch of baking powder)
- avocado + cocoa powder + honey or agave nectar + blender = healthy "chocolate mousse"
- baked sweet potato chips instead of regular packaged potato chips
They might not sound like they would taste that good but I promise they actually do and the recipes are really easy to find online!0 -
Most of the time a "cheat" food fits into my daily goals. That's said they are usually dessert type.0

I'm a brownie fanatic so sometimes I'll have a Fiber One brownie bar. 100 calories, lots of fiber and they taste fantastic! I also love Terry's Chocolate Oranges, so I'll sub in a bit of orange-flavored dark chocolate. It's all about taking what you like, and finding something that tastes similar but isn't so hard on your body.0

Will, you are so delightfully naughty! I am coming to eat at your house.0 -
I love prunes.
No, really, I do. Stop laughing :laugh: . They're naturally sweet and have a wonderful flavor. I seriously have to ration them or I can eat a whole bag at once (with not so wonderful consequences :sick: ) But 6 prunes have about 100 calories so I can really satisfy my sweet tooth for not too much.
You just reminded me that one of my favourite snacks is a date with a pecan half stuffed inside. Sooooo tasty and good for a quick energy boost before hitting the gym on a work night! Tastes kind of like a pecan tart. (Have to buy some more pecans tomorrow now).0 -
Pure Protein Chocolate bars!! by far the best bar for you!!! they are soooo good.0

A slice of thin crust with lots of veggies. You can even go easy cheese, extra sauce, and still pretty damn good.0

I baked some chocolate cupcakes from scratch using a mini-muffin pan, figured out the calories per cupcake, then threw them in the freezer for when I'm craving something baked. They were 65 calories each! They're all gone now---need to bake up another batch!0

I don't have any "cheat" foods because all foods are valid healthy choices.
This. However, I do have to watch myself around homemade granola (my brain keeps telling me I can eat a bucketload because it's sooo good for me). And cereal. I measure out a serving and eat it for a snack.0 -
