It might seem counterintuitive to eat dessert when trying to lose weight, but indulging in the right kind of healthy dessert can actually help you stay on track. Choosing low-calorie desserts that are perfectly portioned allows you to enjoy the sweets you love while maintaining your motivation—and your calorie goals!
"Incorporating dessert daily or a few times a week if it's something you enjoy can actually help you stay on track with your dietary goals," says registered dietitian Maryann Walsh, MFN, RD, CDE. "By not depriving yourself, you are less likely to overindulge in sweet treats and desserts on weekends and special occasions," explains Walsh.
Regardless of your eating style—whether you're counting calories, going low-carb, or following another plan—you can absolutely make dessert a regular part of your routine. Ready to satisfy your cravings? Read on to learn about 30 low-calorie desserts you can buy, all under 150 calories. Then check out the 12 Best Store-Bought High-Protein Desserts.
