I like toast with jelly before bed. Whole wheat toast and a tablespoon of jelly. It's crunchy and sweet, and around 125 calories, PLUS it has a little protein and some fiber.

okay, wow im jelous, you eat so healthy! as for sweets, dark chocolate is AMAZING, and pudding is really good especially for young girls, cuz "our bones are growing" and it has calcium... you could acually maybe use a LITTLE more dairy teenage girls are supposed to have AT LEAST 3 serving of dairy everyday, and not the fat-free type stuff either. fat is also good to encorperate, it helps you grow, and function. anyways, if your 14 you really should eat a little more than your maitnence (SP?) if you want to grow. growing apparently takes a LOT of calories i dont kno why, but its kinda something im struggling with to i don't always get how my body uses all the calories i eat, but it does, cuz ive been eating a TON more and still just maintaining... OH, and remember, your metabolism is like a fire. the more wood (food) you put on it.. the bigger it burns (more calories you burn)
