*without too many cals?

Without that fake sugar, too. Don't trust the stuff.

I keep craving ben and jerry's and vanilla coke..

I HAVE been meaning to try this little snack with sliced frozen bananas drizzled with dark chocolate.

What about y'all? :)

    sounds crazy, but if often works for me.

    Eat the opposite. If you crave sugar, eat something savory. Usually it confuses the tastebuds and they settle down.

    I usually mix up some Shakeology (140 cal, 9g sugar). Or I'll head to the frozen yogurt store and get some soft serve yogurt :)

    Ben and Jerrys makes the tiny ice cream containers( I dont care for ice cream though).
    Personally,I like snack size candy bars.I feel like Im really treating myself when I eat one or two.I also like 100 cal packs of cookies.
    Happy searching!!

    I buy a LOT of frozen mixed berries. I'll have a cup of those (I eat them still frozen) for a snack in the evenings, or I also like the Edy's Fruit bars. YUM! Helps with fiber, satisfies the sweet tooth, and less than 100 calories!

    It's totally crazy but I eat more fruit when I want sugar. it still has sugar in it but at the same time it helps me thru my chocolate times. Good luck with this. Have a good day.

    I do the frozen yogurt thing too. I really love going to Yogurtland- which is this do it yourself yogurt spot with a bunch of diffferent frozen yogurt flavors and toppings. I can go there get some delish frozen yogurt and top it with some fruit and not feel so bad about it. I also think its ok to just treat yourself every now and then. If you practice a little portion control it won't mess up your day.

    I had a chocolate craving this afternoon that had me ALMOST opening a big easter rabbit up to eat. :P

    Instead, I did:

    1 cup skim milk
    2 tablespoons 2% yogurt
    1 tbsp maple syrup
    2 tbsp fry's cocoa powder

    calories: 248 Carbs: 45 Fat: 2 Protein: 12 Sodium: 211 Fibre: 4

    Blended together with a lot of ice, called it a chocolate milkshake. It was really yummy, filling, and just what I needed. :)

    I've done chocolate graham crackers with some fat free cool whip. But my favorite is the 100 calorie packs of mini cupcakes or little cakes... I think Hostess makes them? Not sure, but they are little 100 calorie packs. :)

    Extra came out w/ a new dessert flavored gum. Strawberry shortcake is awesome...tastes like the strawberry shortcake ice cream bars in gum form. Exciting? no...but can't beat 5 calories a piece.

    How many calories is too many for you?
    Like another person suggested, I often do Yogurt with some fresh fruit and granola mixed in. I have it for breakfast or lunch often, but you could reduce the portion size for a snack.

    Breakfast/Lunch size:
    1 cup - Wegmans Super Yogurt - Organic Strawberry Yogurt
    1/4 cup Bare Naked - All Natural Granola - Heavenly Chocolate
    2-3 strawberries chopped up

    - Frozen grapes, cherries and strawberries! They're so delicious, low-calorie, and they have a completely different texture/taste to them when they're frozen!
    - I LOVE Dark Chocolate, so when I'm craving some, I enjoy one Dove Promise out of the freezer.

    It's nice! Hopefully you get something out of this!
