    I also really enjoy Emerald's Cocoa Roasted Almonds & their Cinnamon Roasted Almonds...They've got them in a 7 pack box and they're 100 calories per packet. They're really good!

    I have anything, I just eat significantly less. For example, after lunch today I craved something sweet. So I had 2 sweettarts. Completely satisfied the craving and I think was something like 14 calories. I guess it just depends how much sweet your body is craving.

    I have a major sweet tooth as well, I usually crave something on the weekends so I bake something healthy for my boyfriend and I. My favorites are almond butter chocolate chip cookies, strawberry cheesecake, and chocolate dipped peanut butter bananas and frozen peanut butter cups. I posted all the recipes on my facebook page ( Onelifeonebody) if you want to take a look and make some! They are so cheap, easy to make, great for you and DELICIOUS! My boyfriend even likes them ;) And during the week I just chew extra dessert delights mint chocolate chip gum (sugar free) if it gets REALLY bad.
    Another trick ive learned is to time out my sweet tooth. For example I crave something sweet in the mid morning, mid afternoon and before bed. So I always eat my favorite stuff then (banana with peanut buter, yogurt with strawberries, and frozen peanut butter cups)
    By timing it out you fix those cravings with your already planned meals for the day!

    Gum. I get killer sweet-tooth cravings between 2 and 3pm for some reason, and a stick of gum seems to do the trick :) I really like the Apple Pie Desserts gum.

    Trader Joes has a 100 calorie milk chocolate bar for when you really really really need chocolate. Skinny Cow just introduced some candy bars that are between 80-120 calories. I always make sure I have room in my daily calories for something sweet :-)

    There are a few things that I have in case I get a craving for something sweet or chocolatey (usually both for me).

    Mayfield actually has ice cream bars that are only 100 calories (Brown Cow Juniors). They are really good.

    Skinny Cow also has a some really yummy low calorie snacks that help me get my chocolate fix. They're the heavenly crisps (110 calories) and the dreamy clusters (120 calories) and both are amazingly good! Though, I personally like the crisps better, but that's just me.

    One square of Dove Dark Chocolate is about 40 calories. At the end of the day I treat myself to TWO! I eat them very, very slowly, and allow each bite to melt completely in my mouth. Ridiculously satisfying and only 80 calories for real chocolate. I buy them in bags when on sale.

    I like to put these in the freezer so they take longer to eat, usually nibbling on one at night will totally curb my sweet tooth.

    Hello sweet-tooth MFPers...

    Any tips or tricks for reducing actual sugar intake across all meals without having a 'sugar replacement' in the meal? Many of the above tips seem to take refined sugar out of the eating plan and replace it with fructose (ie raisins / prunes / grapes / fruit etc). Peanut butter is also surprisingly high in sugar...

    I consume probably 350-400ml of light milk a day (breakfast cereal + coffee) - is there a lower-sugar replacement that can be used to counteract this?

    Modified South Beach Ricotta Creme
    - Mix about ½ cup light ricotta cheese, Splenda packet, a bit of vanilla extract, and some semi-sweet chocolate chips. Sometimes I’ll add some sliced strawberries too, or sliced almonds. There are many modifications on this, I like to experiment :-)

    Vitabrownie Sundae
    - Warmed Vitabrownie (I like the kind with chopped nuts on top), a small scoop of LF vanilla frozen yogurt, and some sugar free chocolate syrup (I like to warm this up a bit first too!)

    Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches

    DIY FroYo - Just buy your favorite yogurt cups and stick it in the freezer for a bit! This also works well with pudding cups, especially Jell-O Dulce de Leche! YUM.

    Semi-sweet chocolate chips - I measure a serving size and stick it in a baggie, then take it with me for whenever I need chocolate! I like this because I can pick at them, rather than eating a chocolate bar in 5 seconds.
