    My best advice is to use the search function.

    I usually crave sweets like chocolate. I satisfy my cravings with Fiber One Brownies...pop them in the microwave for about 12 seconds and they melt in your mouth. Only 90cals too! :bigsmile:

    Yup have to agree xD but if everyone used the search function then we would never find new tips from others that may not have been posted.

    its lose/lose xD

    jello makes sugarfree chocolate pudding = 60 calories. i switched to that from a bowl of ice cream after dinner and they're not bad!

    I'm with you too on this. I would/could just eat everything in sight right now. But the fact that I didn't get my normal workout in today (I did walk for over 2 hrs. at the amusment park today though), I'm feeling very bloated right now. I'm measuring my low calorie "healthy" junk food (ie. low fat air popped chips) and trying to drink more water, club soda or tea. And eating veggies or yoghurt as a snack sort of helps me. It's all about choices...

    When my sweet tooth is screaming for something I do angelfood cake with strawberries and fat free whipped cream or I take a half table spoon of peanut butter mixed with a table spoon of sugar free chcolate ice cream topping warm for 10 seconds in the microwave and then fold in 6 tablespoons of fat free whipped creme it's delicious and will put that little sweet tooth into a happy place. :tongue:

    So work out and use those extra calories to eat a darn cupcake! Try some "skinny" dessert recipes... heck work off the calories of the cupcake while you're cooking it!

    You could try their grilled chicken snack wrap! But I'm not sure if that's really the type of McDonald's you crave... heh. I think a small thing of fries rarely won't kill ya...

    You're telling me!! It's sooo hard to stick to a diet during that time. I just want to eat everything in sight.

    Yeah sorry I'm just a bit new at starting to use this site so I didn't think of that (using the search function) ><

    I think I'll try buying some of these products mentioned...I've heard of Skinny Cow before so I think I'll try that first!
    Lets see if I can stick to this healthy eating thing haha
