Sugar free jello (5 cal a serving on average)

Treat yourself! Eat fun size bars

Choose decadent treats instead of a makes bar, (Godiva masterpieces are 4pc for 180 cals

Low fat Greek yougurt w/ fruit (it's more dense so it's more filling, but also it has fat and protein)

Reasons why we crave sweets

They're tasty (jk sort of), it's a easy way to get energy. So, when our bodies crave it it can be due to hunger or lack of nutrients. Try drinking some water, if you still crave sweets, it could be lack of nutrients, like magnesium or fat and protein. Fat and protein are necessary to repair cells and feel full. Magnesium is just one of the necessary nutrients needed in a healthy diet, so try to invest in a nice multivitamin. if you track your calories, try to track what vitamins your food contains apps like MyFitnessPal and cronometer can help.

More Recipes!

This time instead of making my own, I decided to try a couple from on here for breakfast today!

(Disclaimer, I was high while making and eating these, and am while writing this post, so please forgive me if I sound stupid XD)

Cinnamon roll- very easy to make, and pretty yummy! A little dry (I microwaved mine for 30 seconds, maybe if I did less time it would have been better!) and pretty strongly cinnamon imo. Next time I may use a bit less. I’d not call this a cinnamon roll really, but yummy cinnamon bread!

Omelette- ABSOLUTELY. FUCKING. AMAZING. super easy, mine is a mess because I’ve never made an omelette before, but took just a couple minutes and was so yummy! I didn’t have fresh veggies, but I had some pico de gallo so I just used about 1/2 a tablespoon of that instead of veggies/ salsa for about 5 calories. Super fricking good ^w^
