Blueberry greek yogurt, 2 cups of lite kettle corn, 1/2 an Apple sprinkled with cinnamon and microwaved, fudge pop, grapes, watermelon or berries. Try to stay away from cookies, candy and cake. Can't control myself.0

You could try some meringues. Their sweet and 50 cals for 1 nest.
Yogurt, any flavor, if its plain with a bit of honey and cinnamon.
Sweet fruits
Custard
Candied apples
Hot cocoa
Dried dates... Their really rich so you can't eat more than a few anyway!
Or, if your like me, "save" up some calories each day for something you want0 -
I like a soft-serve cone for 250 calories, a really good cookie for 200, or dark chocolates
A banana smoothie with cocoa or both cocoa and protein powder is pretty sweet and can be a quick meal. Strawberries and greek yogurt smoothie, and so on.0 -
Tonight I had a grape outshine bar. So good, and only 60 calories. Made with real fruit juice. I can't stand artificial sweeteners so I love these bars!0
-
Applesauce with cinnamon, hot chocolate k-cup (70 cals), Light and Fit Greek yogurt (80 cal), sugar free fudgecicles, fruit (especially red seedless grapes, fresh cherries, and melon!), chocolate almond milk0

I know I'm probably really behind but I just discovered chocolate cheerios and they are the sht. 100 calories for 3/4 of a cup. I had that with half a cup of lactaid millk (which seems to be sweeter than regular milk) for breakfast and it really took care of my sweet/chocolate craving. Worked out to be 150 cals altogether.0

0% greek yoghurt 100g - 57 cals (I use Fage)
raspberries 40g - 26 cals
Clear honey 4g - 13 cals
Smush raspberries so you have some chucks and some bitty juicey-ness, mix this and honey into yoghurt. Total: 96 cals
I got this brownie recipe from another post, the blog says they are 100cals, but I used the same yoghurt as above and they came out as 75 cals according to mfp (divided recipe into 9 squares) or 104 cals each if you use castor sugar instead of truvia. (I didn't include the nuts in those numbers, but they'd make a nice addition)

Sugar free jelly - a snack pot is about 6 calories.0
-
Dove dark chocolate - 2 pieces are 84 calories and oh so satisfying.0
-
I like the 50 calorie cups of unsweetened apple sauce, and also low fat whipped cream with some strawberries thrown in.0
-
I make a strawberry smoothie with 1 yogurt cup which is 40 calories and 1 tbsp of splenda which is 0 calories btw. 1/2 a cup of milk and 1/2 cup of strawberries. It usually works out to be 200 or less. Very sweet and very yummy0

Low sugar caramel popcorn topping
Ok, this is tried and tested and tastes really good!
Air pop 100g of popcorn kernels (343 calories).
Place a small pan onto your digital scales and pour in 30g of Splenda (60 calories) or your own brand of low calorie sugar. Then add 30g or 2 tbsp of agave (40 calories) and 1 tsp of I can't believe it's not butter (28 calories) and a pinch of salt.
Place on low heat and stir with a wooden spoon and wait for it to bubble and mix together with no lumps. Agave has a higher burning point to honey or syrup so take care not to burn the mixture. Once mixed and hot pour half onto your popcorn and mix it in with your wooden spoon and then pour in the final mixture and mix into the popcorn to ensure you have coated as much as you can.
Divide into 3 bags and each will be approx 160 calories. This is a filling and enjoyable healthy snack.0 -
- Fruit (anything ending in 'berry' is generally lower cal/carb
- Dried Goji Berries
- Hartley's sugar free jelly
- Options 40kcals hot chocolate
- Sweet Freedom Natural Sweetness on some rye crisp breads0 -
Greek yoghurt with nuts and blueberries - I have this for dessert most nights.
Nakd cola flavoured raisins - taste just like cola bottles but 67cals per bag!
Nakd bar or 9 bar0 -
1 piece of Dove dark chocolate caramel with sea salt. 40 calories0
-
Skinny girl ice cream sandwiches - 150 calories each and come in a 6-pack. They are huge and satisfying.0
-
Take fat free cool whip, mix in chocolate PB2
Dip strawberries in it0 -
My recent favorite is banana and PB2 "ice cream." You freeze 1-2 bananas cut into chunks then put them in the food processor (or blender would work too). You add 1 serving of mixed PB2 (with water) and it is delicious and filling. Last time I added 1 tsp of trader joe's "nutella." Awesome!0

So I discovered this little treat that I have been having at night when the post dinner/ sweet cravings hit me.
1 sheet graham cracker( I use cinnamon, you could use honey or even chocolate)
1 TBSP lite cool whip
1 TBSP whipped peanut butter (or regular, of course. the whipped is slightly less calories.)
break the graham cracker in half, spread the cool whip on one half and the PB on the other and make a little sandwhich. Freeze for as long as you can contain yourself. Usually I make like 5 at a time and just grab one out of the freezer when I need it. It's like a little ice cream sandwich! My boyfriend loves them too.
Its about 75 calories for the graham cracker, 10 for the lite cool whip, and 70 calories for whipped PB. That's 155 calories and totally satisfying.0 -
Flavored herbal tea: 0 - 10 calories
My favorite is Goji Pop from David's Tea
Watermelon granita: a bit of a pain to make but worth every second
Kind Bars: yeah I know it's junk food but it could be worse.0 -
Yoplait frozen yogurt bars. They have several flavors. Mine fav is caramel. So creamy and rich. 80-90cals.0
-
PB2 and bananas; not bad.
Dried dates and soy milk; I like to blend the dried dates together with milk, pour into pot and boil them for a few minutes, strain, then drink the creamy sweet yumminess.
Oh yeah and sugar-free trident gum with xylitol--5 calories each. Good for your teeth after a meal too, apparently. Lol.0 -
I -2 cup(s) frozen sliced dole strawberries (microwaved so warm) (2 min or so)
add 2-4 ounces land o lakes heavy whipped cream (sugar free) (only land o lakes is no carb ) (yes i looked)
so good i do not eat chocolate anymore0 -

Coffee drinks...I do non-fat sugar free latte's...usually around 160 calories at Sbux or McD's.0

I'm usually a brownie/cookie/cake fan so here's my "go to's":
Mrs. Thinsters Chocolate Chip Cookies- You can have about 5 for about 100 calories (At Sam's Club)
Snackwells Devil's Food Cake Cookies- You can have 2 for 100 calories
Fiber One Brownies- 90 Calories per brownie (So far I've tried the chocolate chip and lemon bar one, both are good)
Belvita bars- Crunchy Chocolate, Soft Baked Banana Bread, and Soft Baked Oats and Chocolate are my favorites.
You can have 3 reduced fat Oreos for 150 Calories.
Cocoa Dusted Almonds
Chips Ahoy and Oreo 100 Calorie packs.
Yoplait Greek 100 Vanilla and Apple Pie flavors are both really good and not too tart- the Lemon one is N-A-S-T-Y. I added a bit of local honey to the apple pie one and it was really good.
Sometimes a sweet potato with a tiny bit of butter and brown sugar will do the trick.
I also like to get apple slices and dip them in a small amount of the light caramel.
That's all I can think of right now...
-I found a copycat recipe today for Snackwell's Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies in "Top Secret Recipes LITE" by Todd Wilbur. I borrowed it from my local library.0 -

A cup of fresh strawberries0

Swiss Miss diet hot chocolate. Just 25 calories and takes a while to finish, so I'm not left wanting more.0
-
Is 250 calories low calorie? If so, Snickers. At least, it was my craving for today.0
