    I make low-calorie desserts that don't taste "diet" (sorbets are a favorite, as are cooked fruit-based desserts and cakes where much of the oil has been switched out for apple sauce). Once a week, I have something small and high-calorie (often a shortbread cookie with frosting that I estimate at 160 calories). Other than that, it's occasional treats in social settings. A piece of my nephew's homemade birthday cake. Half a custard donut at a Hannukah party.

    Mostly, that's enough for me.

    I don't budget for them, but if I want a sweet I have one. Usually, with me, it's something salty not sweet. Potato chips are my spirit animal.

    Definitely! I have to have my chocolate. I usually eat a few pieces of semi sweet morsels that do the trick or a chocolate pudding with cherries and whipped cream! Omg. Delicious.

    when you eat sugar it turns into fat so its best not to eat sweets. i learned this at school

    Well, you better stop eating everything including salad and grilled chicken then because your body turns those into sugar as well.

    What about the glucose my body burns for fuel? Does it turn to fat after I have used it for fuel?

    Home made frozen yoghurt is good for this.

    Must make some of that, it's been ages.

    If you paid money for that school, you might want to ask for your money back.

    I just polished off the last bar in a box of Quest Keto Milk Chocolate bars -- although I don't eat low card, I think they are delicious and add some needed fat to my diet. Too bad I had it on the same day as a 360 cal Len & Larry snickerdoodle and an entire tub of Halo Top. So I'm about 1000 in the hole to start my week.

    Please stop it, zach. Whether you're joking or not, just please stop it.

    Judging by the content of the numerous posts of his that I've seen, I'm pretty sure he's trolling.

    Always :) probably more than I should, I am seeing 100 - 200 calories a day, mine is more like 300. I may have to rein that in.

    I came to the same conclusion but posted anyway because it turns out there's a lot of people who will blithely take absurd advice because they don't know any better.
