    Your diary says you have 1040 calories left today, without accounting for any exercise you may or may not do. You can't make it fit? Try harder.

    I eat chocolate, but I don't trust myself with a bag of it (or even a whole bar) in the house. Eating a small piece and then putting the rest in the freezer helps. Other times, I'll buy a bar, eat a piece, and give the rest away.

    Chocolate flavoured tea or a square of dark chocolate. In the grand scheme of things, a small amount isn't going to hurt.

    Chocolate cravings don't happen too often but if i feel that i want chocolate then I buy a couple of pieces for a quality chocolate store and take them home and eat them during piece and quiet. I would not trust myself with a bar or box of chocs.

    When I crave chocolate I eat chocolate. I have a bag of ghirardelli 72% dark chocolate squares. Each one is 55 calories, I believe. I usually have one a day.

    right now I eat Ghiradelli dark chocolate squares. Usually one is enough. With dark chocolate it's easier to satisfy my craving than milk chocolate. They are yummy and come in lots of different varieties.

    A piece of lindt (or other good quaklity) dark chocolate. If I really can't fit into my day's calories, I will have a no sugar added hot cocoa or I will mix unsweetened cocoa and a stevia into my greek yogurt for a pseudo chocolate pudding

    I keep a pound of Trader Joe's dark chocolate in my cupboard at all times. I have 1-3 squares when I get a craving

    FWIW, 50-70 calories for a piece of dark chocolate is not going to derail progress very much. i would totally either change my meal plan or accept that my weight loss is being slowed down by that little bit of calories for the day and move on *shrug*

    Another vote for Ghirardelli dark chocolate. My current obsession is their Cabernet Matinee (dark chocolate infused with a hint of natural blackberry and grape flavor). I buy the bar & will eat 1 or 2 squares (60 calories each).

    I eat dark chocolate and make it fit in. Or I have chocolate whey protein shake after a workout or by adding a little cocoa powder to my smoothie. I have learned not to deprive myself of my dark chocolate bc if I do eventually I will binge.

    ^This. I go for the Ghiradelli squares (individually wrapped), or like many others have said, the Dove promises. Supposedly, the darker the chocolate the better - if you eat darker chocolate (60-70%) you can be satisfied with eating less of it than milk chocolate.

    When craving chocolate, I eat a HIGH cocao semi-sweet (almost no sugar) chocolate. Because it is bittersweet, I don't crave more than a square, but my craving for chocolate is gone!

    You're a 20 year old woman lifting and netting 1000-1200 calories a day? :( I think you can afford some chocolate, even on a rest day.
