"Dessert"?
Replies

What suggestions do you have to fulfill my sweet tooth? My cravings are usually chocolate, particuarly ice cream or candy bars. I'm just today trying to start over and make some permanent, healthy changes including a good excercise routine and healthier eating. What do you eat that curves those sweet cravings?
You're in luck as both ice cream or a candy bar can fit in a healthy diet
Yup. I'm planning on crushing several oreos into some greek yogurt later tonight. YUM!! The key to sticking to a "diet" is to make some changes to your lifestyle forever. Teach yourself how to eat just a little bit, or just a normal amount of the things you love. Plan them into your calories, don't make them extra calories. . . and voila!0 -

I run a very strict diet. I've completely eliminated syrup from my pancakes, and replaced it with a healthier, lower calorie option: ICE CREAM!
1/2 cup of ice cream has less calories than 1/4 cup of Mrs Butterworth's. It's got better macros, is more filling, and tastes better.
tl,dr: You want dessert? Eat dessert0 -
One Reese PB cup has only 80 calories. IF you can stop at one, that is the challenge!
I also enjoy a bowl of raspberries (a whole carton of them), sprinkled with 1 tsp of sugar and 2 tablespoons of half-and-half. It's extremely sweet and low in calories, and it's actually pretty filling.
Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Grahams (there's all kinds of flavours) are about 140 calories per 1/3 cup, which is a sizeable portion.
Frozen raspberries (or blackberries) fork mashed with sugar and half and half is Devine but high in calories. My fat bowl doesn't help0 -

I have sweet tooth at all times. I will usually grab a bite size butterfinger bar (45calories each) and eat that. They stick to your teeth so you can taste them for a while after you've eaten it. :laugh:0

You can eat whatever you want, but I'm assuming that you're looking for a lower calorie version to satisfy your sweet tooth.
seedless red grapes
They. Are. Delicious.
Freeze them and eat them like that if you prefer them cold.0 -

I just buy bags of the fun size candy, and single servings of ice cream.
They're kind of lower calorie, in a way.0 -
For me there are no good substitutes, so I just eat less of the good stuff. For instance, I eat half a kit kat bar for dessert at work every day. 105 calories isn't too difficult to make fit into my calorie coal. Also, frozen yogurt is a lower calorie option for ice cream and it tastes almost as good. Just make sure to measure it out carefully before you eat it.0

I have a HUGE sweet tooth. Chocolate is my weakness!! But for a couple months I have fell in love with what I call "Apple Delight" I cut up an apple in slices, 2 TBS of peanut butter or less depends....and sprinkle a few of the Mini Chocolate Chips over it OR Dark Chocolate Chips. SO GOOD!
Dole Banana & Strawberry Dippers are delicious as well. All in Dark Chocolate (not bitter) and only 100 cals for 4 in a pack.
Brookside Dark Chocolate Acai Blueberry OR Pomegranate Covered are really good with some Cinnamon Almonds. Just make your own trail mix with them.Enjoy!

Chocolate. I'm not a fan of crap chocolate though... all my stuff is 80%+
Get some.
Find some other things you like, and eat them. Yesterday, I had some delicious nutella ice cream.
^^ NUTELLA ICE CREAM?!?! I almost just passed out. ^^
I take vanilla ice cream (soften it a bit first), some nutella, some chopped up pecan nuts and cherries. Mix it all up and bit back in fridge. Enjoy by the spoonfuls!!:drinker:0 -
I like berries (sometimes fresh ones, but the frozen ones are good too), with some greek style yogurt and a little honey
I also like mullerlight yogurts, and what I really can't resist is a treat rather than a dessert - dark (85%) chocolate
but only a little bit.

Sounds great! will have to try that!0 -
Easy: Berries- or a piece of dark chocolate.
Not so easy: chia pudding with coconut milk and vanilla. This needs to "set" overnight so the chia seeds gel- but it's worth it.
I also will take an apple and dice it up, and stick in the mircrowave w. some butter, cinnamon and vanilla. Top with nuts. Delish.0 -
I'm surprised no one has suggested frozen banana "ice cream" :sick:
Just eat your normal dessert...fit it into your day.0 -

You missed it, it was on page 1 lol
I'll stick with my peanut butter chocolate ice cream0 -
My only warning (and maybe it was just me), is that I got so used to having dessert most nights when I was on MFP the first time. There are sooo many options that are low calorie and delicious, that it was always just part of the routine to have some sort of sweet snack after dinner.
But then when I stopped using MFP so religiously, even if I still ate healthy out in real life (at a bbq having some salad, fruit salad, and bbq chicken or something) I would still have that dessert habit, and it got out of hand. Real world desserts are not MFP desserts! The fact of the matter was, with regular food you can compromise.
So personally, I had a hard time with desserts in particular when it came to trying to maintain/lose weight off of MFP, and a lot of it had to do with the dessert habit.
That being said, if you have good willpower, I have an amazing low calorie dessert, I call it Cheesecake Pumpudding.
1/2 Cup Silk Pure Almond Unsweetened Almond Milk (15 Calories)
1/2 Cup Libby's Pure Pumpkin Puree (40 Calories)
1/2 Packet Jello Sugar Free Cheesecake Pudding (50 Calories)
Pumpkin Spice to taste (Start with 1/2 tsp, it can be strong stuff)
Sweetener to taste (I use some Splenda, but it really doesn't need it, just adds that extra sweetness)0
