I'd never heard of this cake, so I'm glad you posted it; it sounds like a good healthy alternative to my normal energy bar, actually. Here's a recipe I found that has 216 calories per serving; don't know if you would consider that high or not but here it is for your reference:…

Agreed. I consistently go over my protein, but never meet my carbs, but I prefer a higher protein diet anyway, and it seems to be working for me so far.

Agreed; I went a week coming under my daily calorie allowance, thinking that would help and was frustrated by lack of progress, so I upped my calories one day, and boom: jumped on the scale and down two pounds. It definitely changed my way of thinking; I was so proud of myself for not reaching my limit, but it turns out I…

It's the only kind of energy bar I can eat that I actually enjoy the taste of and I usually have one for breakfast. The Carrot Cake and White…

Do you like bananas? I always find them a great substitute for ice cream; I wait until they're very ripe, and throw them in a bag into the freezer because I think they have a wonder, creamy consistency that makes me feel like I'm eating ice cream. Here's a low cal adaptable recipe that I use; low calorie, high protein; you…

If you're craving something sweet at night, as others suggested, why not save up some calories for a snack at night that will also help you sleep? I always have some frozen bananas in the freezer (also a great use for those bananas that are very ripe), you could try blending that up with some skim milk and maybe a T. of…
