I don't have dessert every day mostly because prefer ice cream to anything else, and I just don't always have Ice cream in my freezer, but when I do its Magnums or halos every day

I eat a big bowl of nicecream everyday lol. Can pretend its a meal XD Frozen bananas blended with cinnamon and cocoa powder poured over frozen blueberries frozen for a bit and topped with chocolate PB2. Sometimes ill literally use it as a meal and add some protein powder. Treat it like the worst "protein shake" ever. Like a newbie shake thats all fruit hahaha. The blueberries bulk it up so much and add texture its like a blizzard xD Mmmmm

Nope for a box of brownies 1/2 cup of vegetable oil and two eggs and instead of 1:9 I make it 1:12. It equals out to 101 calories for a brownie!

I bake my own desserts and look for substitutes for sugar, oil, and butter. I generally halve the sugar and use stevia for the other half. Use yogurt for the butter perhaps and unsweetened applesauce for the oil. Doing this I can make 120 cal baked apple fritter and a 200 cal cinnamon roll. I use unsweetened applesauce with the spices for the filler instead of butter. Always look for dessert recipes and figure how lo-calorie you can make them using subs.

I don't have a treat everyday but when I want one I eat it. As long as I hit my protein goal and stay in calorie range it doesn't affect my progress at all. I still maintain my muscle mass and shed some of my fluff.

Sounds good, especially with the chocolate PB2 I love that stuff. I've seen a couple of nicecream recipes that I want to try when I get a chance because I'm such an ice cream fiend I want to try different healthier alternatives.

No sugar added fudgesicle, 40 calories

Yep, I have some sort of 'dessert' after dinner pretty much everyday and I've lost 45 lbs.

I did get into the habit of craving something sweet after dinner from before I started trying to lose weight and I decided instead of trying to change that I would find other ways to work it in. I save up most of my calories for dinner-time; I was never a morning eater as it was and it was easy for me to just have a protein bar, coffee and salad during the day which would leave something like 700 calories remaining when I got home from work. Then I could have a reasonable dinner of 400-500 Cals and have plenty leftover for dessert. Something that has really helped is that I've developed a fondness for Vector cereal (which is actually labeled as a meal replacement); it's sweet enough to be dessert for me and I can eat a 55g serving for 215 calories. That covers me for during the week and then on the weekend I can have something a bit more decadent if I choose.

I eat something sweet almost every night. What and how much varies, depending on how my calories are going. Banana, peaches, applesauce, pudding, ice cream, chocolate, or an oatmeal raisin cookie are my usual options.

Since I don't really eat breakfast until around 1:00 or so, dessert is really my last meal, and I usually have quite a few calories left for it.

Today was poorly planned since I ended up walking more than I thought I would, and I needed to eat a lot. I ate yogurt with 4 servings of pumpkin spice Cheerios -- 600 calories for dessert. Most nights my dessert is less than this, though. It is, however, often yogurt and cereal or kettle corn.

Greek yoghurt mixed with some quark and I stir in Pb2 and some nuts, seeds and dried fruit. I also have an apple. That is my dessert 6 days of the week. Saturdays I usually have cheesecake or chocolate fudge cake or some sort of fruit tart with mascarpone or thick single cream.

I try to close off the day with some dry cereal or popcorn. I make dessert once a week (we usually have company for Saturday lunch) and keep it to under 200 calories/serving so I can enjoy any leftovers. This week, it's strawberry sorbet.

I do, every single day. Because for me, sweets are my weakness as well and it seems more natural for me to add a little something nice to the end of my day rather than crave it until I crack, thus ending in a binge. I typically go for fiber one brownies, I love them all or the fiber one cookies. But since its close to Halloween, Reeses have released their pumpkin shaped reeses and I adore those, so 1-2 times a week I'll save calories for that. If it fits your macros and genuinely makes you happier, have a little something. It wont hurt.

I don't bake, because then I end up eating a lot more than I need or want. My husband is diabetic and he shouldn't eat a lot of sugar either. But it is easy enough to buy one piece of cake or one piece of pie. We're both okay with only one cookie. The hard part has been smaller bowls of ice cream. Half a cup just isn't enough. We only get ice cream on days I run a lot, and then I eat a double serving.
