Just curious how many people incorporate sweets into their diet? I make sure I have at least 150 to 200 calories a day set back for something sweet.

    I have mini marshmallows and mini chocolate chips (150-200 calories) almost every night.

    Sweets, especially chocolate, are not important to me so I don't budget them, but I am on maintenance so I just don’t budget anything anymore. Usually on Friday's my husband and I go out for coffee and we share a muffin or a scone; our deserts are mostly fruit with cottage cheese or Fage and sometimes sugar free ice cream. But I do have in my fridge Jell-O pudding cups to mix things up if I want to.

    Yes. I always keep something little around that I can grab and eat a partial serving of when I get a craving. You can get big bins of little mini packs of mini gummy bears on Amazon.

    I have something sweet everyday. Sometimes multiple times a day.

    I am planning to go have some mini éclairs right now and will still probably have about 100 calories left to fill. I try to leave at least a few hundred calories for them every day.

    Always! Usually twice. After lunch I'll have a little something and then after dinner. It makes me want to be healthy all day so I can have a treat at the end of the day.

    I've bought chocolate covered pretzels twice, and both times i gutsed down the whole packet for just under 1000 calories each time. Those things are officially banned from my house!

    I buy smaller ones. 7 or 8 are like 130 calories. I usually eat 10 haha. If I buy the big ones...those are trouble lol.

    Since I hit my goal weight, I incorporate "treats" into my diet and routine. Treats are anything that's throw away calories. Generally I want homemade or super-special sort of things for treats - I want them to be worth it. Every once in a while a "treat" is complete garbage calories like a Burger King A-! Baconator Burger. Sometimes it's Ben and Jerry's. Usually it's a homemade treat - like Cheesecake made from scratch :smile:

    For sure! I leave room for a little something everyday. Currently savoring 1 Schar lemon wafer every evening after dinner. So good! Was short on calories and protein today so just had 1/2 a NuGo Stronger Protein Bar...Cookies and Cream. Whew ...it was sweet. Felt like I had 2 sweet treats today. I guess I basically did!

    Me too. I've drastically cut down on my chocolate consumption but I have to have some everyday or I know I'll fail at this. I try to keep it under 150 calories.

    Yes. Usually either peanut m&ms or ice cream.

    I make most of my own candy and sweets. It's a fun challenge to figure out how to make store-bought goodies at home without using nasty-tasting corn syrup and reducing the sugar :p I've had to learn how to measure my fudges in smaller portions to get the 200-calorie target, but it's sooo worth it <3

    Yes! Always some dark chocolate, most days a protein bar or Larabar with chocolate. We usually have some kind of cookie around--right now it's Girl Scouts Samoas. I budget for one a day until they're gone. Weekends I might have more. Last weekend I did a long run and then we got ice cream at Kilwin's. Tonight my daughter had a slumber party at a friend's house, so I got our boys some special treats to eat with their movie this evening. So of course I had to sample the peanut butter cups and chocolate covered sunflower seeds from a Trader Joe's!

    yep, a few pieces of dark chocolate a few times a week. And homemade cocoa powder/peanut butter pudding. Otherwise I will overeat it if I try and restrict myself entirely. Other sweets aren't really worth the calories for me so I very rarely eat them....just special occasions, usually when I visit my family.
