Totally agree about the Arctic Zero. I'd rather use more calories for something that tastes good.0 -
Halo Top for sure. I also like the salted caramel Power Crunch bar; it kinda reminds me of those strawberry/vanilla/chocolate wafers from my childhood.0

I am new to macros but I know I would have to find sweets that would fit my macros
I'm still confused. Are you looking for low calorie or low carb desserts?0 -

It's hard for people to offer specific, relevant, helpful suggestions for you when the original post wasn't clear. "Clean" means something different to almost everyone and macros are very individualized. How are we supposed to offer suggestions that fit your macros when you didn't specify what your macro split is? Are you focusing on one particular macro that you are short of your goal on?1 -

That completely depends on the individual day. Nobody can predict if you'll need more fat, protein, or carbs.
If you need more carbs, but not fat or protein: fruit.
If you need a good mix of carbs and fat: ice cream and/or cake.
If you need protein: protein bar or shake.2 -

Also, The irony of this is that the poster you are thanking offered the least "clean" suggestions of the entire thread, which is why it's not a very helpful term to begin with. I enjoy all the same suggestions that she made so I'm not criticizing them, but this is why it would be helpful if you shared your definition of clean. I can give dessert suggestions all day long but macro friendly and clean without knowing what you're looking for is a bit difficult.5 -

At least this highlights how "clean" doesn't have a common definition. But Rebecca's definition clearly matches the OP's.2 -
Guilt, is that the same as taste?4

And no others that I have ever seen.
Glad that the rest of our suggestions are chopped liver (which would fit my macros fine, but not a good dessert).0 -
It sounds terrible to me, but I'm a hard core cottage cheese should be savory person. I do eat cottage cheese for dessert quite often, sometimes with some pickled spicy vegetables or pepperoncinis, because I love it so.
I fully admit that my own preferences probably sound terrible to someone else. ;-)0 -

Exactly. I'm confused0 -
Instead of ice cream, I eat sorbet. It's got ~60kcal vs ~270kcal and way less fat than ice cream. Popcorn is practically free just watch your salt and don't add any butter--the stuff I like is 35kcal per cup.0

I think she was wanting clean as far as good for the macros goes. I am guessing something easy on the macros and easy to make. She said clean"er" so I assume she is wanting dessert but something that is "friendlier" to her macro diet, which I took it as being lower in carb/fat etc. Cleaner as far as the caloric intake.0 -
I can't imagine protein powder and cottage cheese tasting anything like cheesecake, unless you've totally forgotten what cheesecake tastes like.3

I just took her request as an idea thread for calorie/macro friendly desserts. I am not a "clean" eater and do not claim to be. I don't think the body cares if your carbs come from a pop tart or a sweet potato. So eat what I want, in moderation. I definitely wasn't trying to say my ideas fit in the "clean" category.0 -
You could make your own frozen yogurt. I was looking it up on YouTube last night. It's pretty easy and you can tailor it to your preferences/requirements.0

Huh. I actually haven't heard "clean" in reference to macros or calories, but again, there are about as many definitions of that word as there are posters in this thread so far. I'm not a clean eater or an IIFYM person so I didn't have much to offer to begin with, but I love dessert so if OP gives more clarification on what she's looking for I am happy to contribute.0 -

I would definitely say I am more of a IIFYM dieter, but I just threw my ideas to her because I try to fit desserts in my macros all of the time. and most of the websites I mentioned are very healthy and on the cleaner side. Made fresh and shipped overnight or 2-3 day air, need refrigerated, and only last a week or so unless you are freezing them. No preservatives etc. Definitely "cleaner" than typical 700-800 calorie desserts... But clean eaters count macros too, so I am not sure why you haven't heard clean in reference to macros or calories before?0
