My dessert after dinner is the same thing I eat for breakfast. Well, almost the same thing. I don't have butter with my breakfast, I eat it plain.
If I'm still hungry after dinner, I will eat a cinnamon raisin English muffin with butter. It tastes like dessert, has carbs (which I have a hard time eating enough of), and isn't too caloric. With only 160 calories, it is a great and filling after dinner.
The problem is that it's generally 160 calories after a full 400-500 calorie dinner. That makes my dinner and dessert half of my daily caloric budget. I would like to better balance my caloric intake throughout the day, but I know that come dinner time I'm going want to abandon the control I've let into my day.
I'll do portion control, but you can have four 100 calorie ice creams, and that's a whole meal through portion control. I'm good at putting the food in the bags, but I'm not good at making sure I only eat one.
A cookie is enough calories for a meal, but does it make it a meal? Popcorn is as filling with 300 less calories. When does a snack become a meal?

For me, it's about finding nutritionally-dense foods for snacks: foods that are low in calories but are satisfying in different ways. 2 clementines if I'm craving sweets, popcorn if I want quantity and salt, string cheese or yogurt if I am hungry (the protein or dairy fills the hole.)
