Chocolate once in awhile??

ExRelaySprinter

I have Chocolate or some kind of Sweets (Candy) everyday!
The Sweet i've been craving lately is the Candyland Nougat Bar (only about 140 cals).
Don't know if you have it in the US, but my fellow Brits will know it.
I keep it in the fridge, so it goes harder then takes longer to eat.
I keep my Chocolate in the fridge too actually.

Is it okay to eat some chocolate or any type of sweets while on a diet trying to lose weight. I've done good & haven't touched any bad foods. Today I went for a 2 hr walk & I really craved some dark chocolate Hershey's. It says 180 cal for 5 squares. It won't throw me back somehow with my progress right? Not trying to sound dumb I just don't want to set myelf up for failure if I eat this or don't give myself sweets once in awhile. (: thanks!

Chocolate once in awhile? Chocolate all the time!

So long as it fits into your calories!

I eat chocolate (milk chocolate) everyday..and have since I joined MFP and got educated.

No such thing as bad foods...well except kale it's bad.

Chocolate calories are dangerous. If it has chocolate in it you need to add another digit to adjust for the bad calories, so it's really 1800 for those squares. You've been warned.

But if it's organic chocolate you can take away a digit, because organic food is always healthier. So it would be 18 instead. Makes sense, right? I hope I've cleared that up for you.

even with the spoiler showing...this makes no senses...even with "sarcasm" indicated...unless my blond hair kicked in and I am just not that smart today.

i eat really good quality dark chocolate pretty much every day. i weigh out 20g and that is around 105 cals. I fit it into my calories because i really enjoy it and it makes me feel less 'hard done by' about eating less.

do a little research...dark chocolate is actually really good for you. don't confuse nutrition with caloric density...there are any number of foods out there that are calorie bombs...but also nutritional powerhouses. Conversely, there are any number of foods out there with very few calories and also pretty well void of any actual nutrition.
