    I have chocolate protein powder that i blend with almond milk, peanut butter powder and a banana. The protein powder itself doesn't taste great but when you mix it with the other stuff and blend it with ice it is not so bad. I just pretend its a milkshake lol.

    Sincerely,
    The sweetest tooth

    You could buy single serving chocolate bars, and only buy them when you feel like having some. You basically make a trip to the mall, buy a single serving bar/pack, and go home. You will get to eat your sweets without being tempted to overeat them.

    Do you have sugar or sweetener in your coffee or tea? I had a massive sweet tooth until I gave up sugar in my tea, now it's only during my ladies time that I get sweet cravings which I cure with a little bit of dark chocolate or the alpro soya deliciously dark chocolate yogurts.

    Do you not use any sweetener in tea now? I do use creamer in my coffee, but it's not a whole lot. Are there better substitutes?

    I fit it in my macros. Last night I had Cadbury mini eggs, and they were delicious.

    No I don't have anything. I do however have almond milk or coconut milk because I'm vegan and that does add a little bit of sweetness :) but I don't add any extra sugar or anything

    I keep a bar of dark chocolate with 70% + cacao around and it usually satisfies my craving for something sweet. It also helps me to keep in mind that if I ate even just a 150 calorie sweet snack every day, that's an additional 1050 calories per week that could be hindering me.

    I don't really stay away. I eat ice cream pretty much every day, I just make sure I have room in my calorie budget to fit it in. When you have reasonable portion control it isn't really a question of avoidance so much as a question of planning.

    I spend up to a third of my calories on sweets and biscuits and chips.
