every single day. sometimes even twice3

I have dessert every night.4

Every day I eat two small squares of dark chocolate and at night I've been eating sugar free pudding with Reddi whip, soooo good=) I'd say if it fits into your calorie and macro goals then go for it.2
-
I eat candy every single day. Ice cream once or twice a week.2
-
A couple times a week and within my daily caloric/nutrition goals.2
-
I prefer small treats more often. I love to eat a rice krispie treat or some chocolate before I train.
I honestly very rarely eat bagels, fast food, pizza, etc. I'd say I have a solid high calorie meal once per month. I have a low TDEE though, less than 2000.2 -
I have a small square of chocolate (usually dark) every day.
For cakes, pastries, cookies, ice cream, ect I generally have them in the house somewhere but generally use them as a "filler" food to reach calorie goals; so its usually on days I go to the gym (3 x a week), or on days when I'm doing a lot of walking. Or I'm at a party or something, lol.
I really don't do much fast food anymore, only on occasion. I don't have much of a taste for it anymore, I guess.2 -
Everything I eat is something I like, unless it's something I'm trying for the first time. I feel like all I ever eat are treats. I have things like a piece of cake, a pastry, or a serving of ice cream about once in a month. But I like cheese as much as I like those things, and I have cheese nearly every day.

Every day. If I don't I get a bit stabby.
Same.
Today I have mini chocolate dinosaur-shaped biscuits for my afternoon snack with a coffee (to make myself feel less like a child). Yesterday I had some caramel ice cream, and the day before I shared a cheesecake slice with a friend. I have a sweet tooth that can get the better of me if I don't placate it regularly. I feel I have a pretty balanced diet, and the dentist is always perfectly happy with my teeth (no fillings/other damage), so I don't see any problem with it.2 -
Daily.1

Every day. But for the most part it's at the end of the day after I've done pretty well with my main courses. I budget 1500 for my 3 meals 4000/500/600 and have 2160 calories to work with. I sometimes only eat 250-300 for breakfast so snacks actually make up the majority of my food. I hear that isn't good but I like it.1

Throughout my weight loss journey, I have had ice-cream everyday. I eat out at least once or twice a week.1
-
I fit treats in daily. I basically eat whatever I want as long as it fits my goals.1

I suppose I don't think of a lot of the things I eat as "treats." They're just what happened to fit in my goals for the day. These are some of the things I ate this week:
*I had pancakes twice this week (I eat mine with Greek yogurt instead of syrup).
*I add a serving (15 grams) of chocolate chips to my Greek yogurt 3 or 4 times a week. Raspberry Greek yogurt and chocolate chips makes an excellent dessert.
*I've been trying to keep ice cream out of the house because I'm having a harder time than usual moderating it, but I had some last night (and have some left for tonight).
*I had frozen pizza last night because I skipped lunch and couldn't be bothered to cook.
*I have a protein bar every afternoon as my 3pm snack and purposefully choose the chocolatey flavors.
*I put flavored coffee creamer in my coffee in the mornings and choose the sweeter, more dessertier flavors.
*I had Starbucks and a chocolate chip cookie on Thursday with my writing group.3 -
I don't feel the "need" to eat "junk" anymore - I don't deny myself anything I want, but I don't want the small amounts of "junk" I could otherwise make fit into my daily diet - I treat myself every day though - everything I eat is something I like very much. This is my new "normal" and I feel that the food fight days are over for good.2

I have some sort of a treat everyday. Often time at night I eat a bunch of nachos with real cheddar cheese, helps with protein goal. On other nights I have a peanut butter sandwich. Throughout the day I might have a jolly rancher or two, sometimes half a donut at work if someone brings them in, or some popcorn if someone makes some.
This morning for breakfast I had 2 pancakes with a table spoon of peanut butter on them and 3 eggs. Typically though I have either 4 eggs by themselves or 4 eggs and a serving of oat meal.1 -

Every day0

Almost never. I only get 1200 cal a day and if I spent any of that on treats I would end up going hungry.0
-
As often as I like, but moderated. Some days I might splurge and then cut them out for a few days after. You get the feel for it by weighing in every few weeks.0
