    I LOVE healthy baked apples! Take any recipe, sub out the sugar for low cal sweetener, add oats and raisins and use marg instead of butter. So delicious with some sweetened Greek yogurt!

    They have Quark at Wegmans, but it's the full-fat Vermont Creamery kind. 35 calories per oz/8 oz in a container. So you'd have to be much more sparing, but it's creamier.

    I have been managing my cravings pretty well with 100 calorie Rice Krispies treats. They come prepackaged so I don't have to worry about how big a portion I'm cutting. The fun size Kit Kat bars are 80 calories each and I keep them in the freezer, so they are cold/crisp/chocolate, and that works for me.

    I also eat trail mix when I want something more solid, and that's 140 calories for a quarter cup. But that's a satisfying amount, so that's okay. I can have an English muffin with jam on it for 160 calories, and that's my usual breakfast. A cheese stick and three big wheat crackers is also 140 calories, and that is sometimes good.

    Hot cocoa with real whipped cream is satisfying enough to go to sleep on, and is about 60 calories, and chai tea with cream in it is also about 60 calories.

    Every now and then I run over 60-100 calories because I had an unplanned snack, but I view it as much better than the random binges that I used to do, and that's not enough to really get me off track anyway.

    I love a bit of cottage cheese, few sliced strawberries and a little drizzle of honey! 125g of cottage cheese is only just over 100cal so you can vary your toppings to suit your calorie goal.

    Another fan of cooked fruit here - lovely flavours, sweet hit plus vitamin/fibre etc. How about:

    Baked apple stuffed with sultanas - no need to add sugar

    Banana slices cooked on the stove in a small dollop of butter, lemon, ginger and sugar

    Apricot or plums - quickly cooked in the microwave (or more slowly in the oven if it’s in anyway) - adding cardamom seeds to the plums is a great match. Just a sprinkle of sugar, a small amount of water and a lid.

    Usually all served with a bit of Yeo valley yoghurt.

    M&S in the uk do good yoghurt stick lollies

    We sometimes add a couple of eg almond thin biscuits to a spoon of ice cream and strawberries / raspberries

    We always have pud - and usually it is only high calorie at the weekend...
