Foods in which Artificial Sweeteners

But these sweeteners do not cook like sugar, so they don't work well in baked foods and may leave a bitter aftertaste.

Also, remember that these foods are not necessarily low in calories. For example, sugar-free pudding made with reduced-fat milk has 90 calories per serving as compared to 140 calories per serving for regular pudding.

Although 90 is less than 140, it still isn't calorie-free. You don't have to eat only sugar-free cookies. You may have a real cookie —just include it in your meal plan.
