    I dont crave sweets very often but 2 things that curve it for me are Quaker carmel drizzle cakes, they are 90 cals a pack and If I want ice cream i do some dannon light and fit vanilla yogurt with peaches and cinnamon.

    Get a Banana and a tablespoon of butter, if you can, drink a glass of water and an apple, or Trader Joes 0% greek yogurt and put some bananas in there or strawberries....

    I try to anticipate my sweet craving and have a piece of chocolate (usually a dove dark chocolate is what I love, and it's only about 40 calories per piece). There are also other lower carlorie frozen treats that you can get (just saw 90 calorie new Greek frozen yogurt bars in the grocery aisle).
