hey guys, title says it all! I am finding that I have a sweet tooth especially at night after dinner and before bed. usually I eat a bowl of cereal but I need something that has a LOT less cals than cereal and milk! If I could find a snack that was under 50 cals that would be great! Ideas anyone?? Also-feel free to add me!

    I like to eat artic zero ice cream! It has protein and fiber! 1/2 cup or 60 grams is 35 calories! They just put some new ones in our store that's strawberry, orange dreamsicle, and chocolate! Those are so good and taste like actual ice cream, but some are not so tasty lol. You just gotta let it set out for a few minutes and stir it up and it turns into the creamy texture! I also will put some in a sugar free ice cream cone and that's only about 15 extra calories.

    Jell-O…. or air-popped popcorn. You can have a LOT of plain popcorn for not many calories!
    I also try to fill up on a huge glass of tea (sometimes treat myself to one square of dark chocolate with that tea.) My new idea is also edamame beans or roasted chickpeas… not sure on the calorie count on those.

    Do you have a dehydrator? I dry bananas and fruit leathers. They help satisfy my sugar cravings.

    I third air-popped popcorn. I got my air popper for about $15-$20 and if you get I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray or something similar, you can add flavor for 0 extra calories. You can eat a lot of air popcorn for 50 calories!

    Artic zero is super gross! Save yourself and get halo top ice cream instead. I straight up threw away the artic zero. Halo top is sold at whole foods and some other places. Pretty sure it's 60 cals per serving.

    I actually have transitioned to drinking tea as a bed time snack. Rooibos is caffeine free and some brands offer phenomenal calorie flavours! I have a chocolate mint, cherry pie, and Georgia peach that are great.

    - mix salsa and hummus - as a dip. or hummus and roasted red peppers out of the jar (just cut them up and throw them in the hummus) ENJOY!
    - egg whites omelet with slice of roasted chicken or turkey breast deli meat ! so good. roll it in a letus instead of pita gives it an added crunch

    those are my 2 fav things

    A strong cup of peppermint tea with some Atkins Dark Chocolate Royale added makes a delicious peppermint hot chocolate replacement.
