    Gotta be raspberries. 1-1.5 calories each?

    Pizza Hut Veggie Lover's Pizza on Thin and Crispy Crust is so good.
    It has enough cheese to be a nice savory meal and satisfies my "need" to eat pizza. At less than 400 calories for two slices though, is hardly call it "cheating".

    Chinese buffet. I fit it into my calorie goals, and I eat less than I used to, but it feels like I shouldn't be able to eat it at all.

    I happen to really like Halo Top ice cream (I am aware that there are plenty of people who feel the opposite), and I love that I can eat a whole pint if I am so inclined without making much of a dent in my calories

    I prefer Breyers delight, but yeah. Under 300 cals for more ice cream than I eat in one sitting (not can eat, but I typically have half a pint in a sitting).

    Just wish they didn't cost so much though.

    the breyers one IS good. though i ended up tossing half a pint awhile ago as the weather turned cold and I lost interest in eating ice cream!

    This is a good one, I especially like to munch on these during road trips (not as the driver).

    Take one small meringue nest, spoon on one pot of muller corner whipped strawberry yoghurt, spoon on the sauce from the corner and top with 6 raspberries. My version of Eton Mess at under 200 cals.

    Heathen! Heretic!

    The Laughing Cow spreadable cheese wedges do seem like a lot more than the 40 or so calories they are.
    Dove Promises, especially the dark chocolate ones, also seem much richer than the calories suggest.

    My absolute favorite non-cheating indulgence is a warmed-up whole grain tortilla spread with 1 tbsp peanut butter, and 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries (heated in the microwave and drained of the excess liquid. It's a gooey, messy, lower-sugar PBJ that I use as a dessert or as a quick lunch component on the weekends!

    I think the point was it's a food so delicious, it FEELS like cheating even though it's not.

    But.... sprouts??

    I read somewhere that there is a "sprout" gene. If you have it, it makes sprouts taste bitter so you won't like them.

    I may also have made that up because.....Medication. :D

    frozen berries. Nuked, smushed with splenda = perfect replacement for jam with my yogurt and cottage cheese for surprisingly few calories (especially when you compare to jam).

    Roasted brussels sprouts are amazing. I don't know that roasted brussels sprouts that have been frozen and seasoned before ben frozen are amazing (I've never tried and don't really want to). That said, roasted brussels sprouts that are fresh are one of my favorite foods - especially if they're in season (yes, that will be part of my dinner tonight).

    Before I cut down on the amount of pork I eat, I used to roast them with bacon. They are, however, also very good shredded and sauteed with duck fat.

    Smoothies? I like to make them as my lunch in the warmer months. With yogurt or protien powder they last a while, and knick the ice cream craving for a while... Otherwise, I kind of have a hard time relating here I guess. There are high calorie/ high satisfaction foods. And low calorie/high satisfaction foods too. I could feel just as happy munching on a plate of brussels sprouts as I am eating pizza. It's entirely relative to what I am craving lately. And now some roasted brussels sprouts sound amazing.. Too bad I'm the only one in the house that eats them. I feel wierd cooking things only for myself.
