    Compared to most chocolate bars, a kit kat is rather low in calories (the amount for the whole thing is about half that of a Kinder Bueno for example). So if you /must/ have a chocolate bar then it's the one to go for.

    OR

    Wait ten minutes (to see if the feeling passes)
    Drink water
    Eat carrot sticks
    Use a distraction mechanism (I have an elastic band on my wrist which I snap to distract from cravings)

    Hope that's helpful :)

    I would eat it. This is a lifestyle change and if a KitKat is what I want then that is what I'm gonna have. I'm just not going to have more than one and I'm gonna eat it really slow and maybe even see if 1/2 of it will give me the sensation I'm looking for. Pay attention to your cravings. Is it the chocolate you crave, the crunch? You don't want to get to the point where you feel deprived or you won't keep doing this. I eat "unhealthy" food every day, but that is a heck of a lot better than eating unhealthy food all day every day. What are you comfortable with? Are you comfortable giving up the Kit Kats all together? If not, work it into your day. Good luck!

    I'd eat it - AFTER I do the workout to earn the calories. It is so much nicer to sweat, shower, then sit down and savor every bite, than to eat it and workout wondering if it was really worth it. Because it was, I just don't see that in the moment of the workout. :smile:

    Love this plan! Working for it, I can see how that would make it an extra special treat after a hard workout. Not a food reward, I don't mean it that way. Simply a treat you plan to have after working your butt off.:tongue:

    If it is REALLY bad, I eat the Kit Kat.
