    Daily. Currently I have a bag of dove dark chocolate hearts - have at least one a day.

    As often as I can reasonably fit it into my calories.

    Today, my calorie allotment is under 600 calories. I have eaten a donut hole on one of these days, but generally stick to sugar free jello.

    For the rest of the week, I can eat at maintenance. I save around 400 of those calories for sweets at the end and sometimes end up eating more if I'm out and say... want a kids ice cream or something. I had some Hostess red velvet cupcakes yesterday and plan on eating two sugar cookie Pop Tarts tomorrow.

    Not often, but I've never really had much of a sweet tooth.

    ETA: There's nothing wrong with eating sweets every day, provided you can fit them into your calorie goal and you're not eating so many that you're depriving your body of other nutrients.

    Dark Chocolate most days. Usually a couple of squares does it for me.

    I'd say 5 days out of 7. But the other days I might have a granola/breakfast bar or something.

    I don't have a tremendous sweet tooth. I often have a couple of dark chocolate and sea salt caramels after dinner...that's about the extent of it.

    I have Fibre One bars fairly frequently. I can enjoy the sweet taste without getting that "more more more" feeling. Often I put a little sugar in my morning coffee. The protein bars I eat (Clif Builder Bars) have a bunch of sugar, taste sweet, but also don't awaken any cravings. Generally I don't have desserts or pastries unless I have an upset stomach/digestive system, in which case my choices of things I can eat is limited. I indulge then.

    ETA: I have some kind of bar most days. My indulgent days happen maybe once every 6-8 weeks.

    Agree with all this.

    Once a week when the whole family has dessert. Not much of a sweet tooth either. I'm also insulin resistant so I watch my sugar intake most days.

    I have something (usually it's ice cream) once every two or three days, although it was a lot more during December, I admit.

    Most of the time my main temptations (er, the food ones) are not sweets.

    When I'm not prepping for a show and don't have to be super strict, ...just about every day. I plan for it, and work it into my diary ahead of time.

    Every day. Or else I'd be more cranky than I already am. :)
