Hi everyone!

What's your favorite dessert to work into your macros while still in a deficit? When I'm low on calories left for the day I have a few different ice cream treats that are around 60 calories or I'll have a cookie, but I love hearing about what other people enjoy.

Can't wait to hear some ideas! :)

    Also... doesn't have to be low cal! My FAVORITE dessert when I have the room is frozen yogurt from a froyo shop! With sour patch kids or vanilla almonds as toppics. Yum!

    I like Skinny Cow ice creams, Weight Watchers snack size fudge bars, and popcorn, particularly kettle corn, for my everyday go-to desserts. My favorite desserts are cakes and custards of basically any kind, but I rarely keep them around for obvious reasons. But for special occasions they are definitely my favorite!

    Mostly quality chocolate of varying flavors. I like ice cream but it makes me really sick on the stomach (not lactose intolerant). I can have it homemade so we think it is some additive in the commercial ones I've tried.


    I love good pastries but again quality counts. I don't understand why people like those commercial honey buns with the icing that has the consistency of plastic. Pastry with cheese is a big weakness.

    Cheesecake. Real cheesecake (which means without any ridiculous graham crust) and no sauce. A nice dense not too sweet authentic cheesecake.

    I also like the low fat ice cream treats - Skinny Cow, WW, store brand. Edy's slow churned is also good.
    I also like fat free sugar free pudding, or I'll just have a cookie or snack size candy bar
    Or something like a fruit compote, jam or honey on 45 calorie toast

    I like Ghiradelli dark chocolate squares - 60-70 calories and I'm not tempted to eat more than one serving.

    I get alter-eco dark caramel truffles, 1 is 70 calories and soooo delicious. I also get Justin's peanut butter cup mini's, one is also 70 cals. Or, if I'm having a friend over I'll split a two pack, one is 110 cals...also, I love talenti ice creams (had some last night!) but I weigh out my exact 102 g's

    Aw, I love Justin's PB cups! Pricey but well worth it for a special treat :)

    Talenti. One serving is usually plenty for me, and around 200 calories.

    I use sugar free jelly and fat free yoghurt, pop in the fridge for a few hours and then it's like a mousse.

    My treat is a glass of Fairlife's chocolate milk. 140 calories for an 8oz glass. It is sssoo rich and yummy but much better for you than other chocolate milks.

    I like vita tops with fresh berries and light cool whip or WW ice cream treats- 110 cal or so excellent- when only a few calories left- sugar free puddings or SF jello with light cool whip and berries-

    If I'm trying to behave but still have dessert, I like the Fiber One desserts. Their cookies are good for 150 calories, or their brownie bars are 90 calories. I like the cheesecake bars, but let's be honest-it's nothing like cheesecake.

    A single serving of ice cream, or three mini candy bars usually.

    I'm not a huge dessert person, but I always have Dreyer's slow-churned ice cream (100 calories for a 1/2 cup of vanilla) and/or sherbet on hand at home for when I do want something sweet. I also keep very high-quality dark chocolate in my desk drawer at work. A little bit of very good, very dark (72% cacao) chocolate goes a long way in satisfying my sweet craving and is really not very many calories (40-160 depending on how much I decide to eat) so it can be extremely easy to fit in, even on a pretty limited calorie diet (I eat only 1200-1400 calories/day).

    Dude, I cut a Tim Horton's muffin in 1/4's today and ate one. 100 calories. You can make ANY dessert a diet dessert if you eat just a little bit of it!

    I'm bulking right now, but even when cutting my desserts are about 250-350 calories. A Fiber One brownie or fruit with whipped cream is hardly a small snack, let alone a real dessert. I was on a protein cheesecake kick for a couple of months trying out about a million flavors, but ice cream is probably my favorite dessert. I'll either go for the Dreyer's Slow Churned ice cream or Halo Top. And I don't think I've ever eaten just one serving of ice cream. Always more than that, and always with toppings. Other things I've done are homemade s'mores (or a Reese's s'more to mix it up) and 3-2-1 mugcakes.

    Weight Watchers Red Velvet creme cake....90 calories. So good for that sweet tooth craving that won't wreck your daily calorie count!
