Need chocolate....help?

TiltingAtWindmills

So glad you asked. I crave chocolate too! I'm working on the healthy recipe ideas. In the meantime if I can't stave off a craving, I go for moderation or low cal: I may make some chocolate skim milk, have just a few M&Ms (letting them melt in my mouth rather than chomping on them helps), or in a serious craving I make chocolate pudding using skim milk. I hear great things about the fiber one brownies.

I found this on MFP a while ago, and then tweaked the recipe. Very chocolaty, and a decent sized serving. Just saying, helps when your craving chocolate. lol

Cliff Builder Bars (Chocolate Protein Bar) totally satisfies my chocolate needs plus its healthy and fuels my body for working out!

I agree with the last post!
I have a protein bar (South Beach Diet whipped chocolate and almond) it's only 100 calories, and it's sooo good!!
Totally satisfies my choco craving and it's sort of good for you, haha.

Try using coconut oil 2 Tbsp + coco powder + artificial sweetner (truvia). Mix together and you can throw in nuts, unsweetened cocnut, etc. chill in fridge and enjoy!

1 piece of Godiva's 85% cacao Extra Dark Chocolate does it for me.

Have some quality dark chocolate.. it should satisfy your cravings after a piece or two.

I get the quality dark choc with chili pepper in it. It will satisfy your choc craving and it has a kick to it. YUMMY

bademasi

Get some of the fine chocolate with chili peppers in it. It will first taste like that amazing chocolate that you are craving in a small bite and then heat up. You will be fine with one piece. and you get your fix.

this for sure!

I grub on a fiber one 90 cal peanut butter and chocolate chunk bar when I get that way! It hits just the right spot!

This. I buy a pack of Hershey Special Dark bars and eat them a lot at the end of the day. If they fit in my day and my macros, don't deprive. And it satisfies more than shoving a bunch of low fat snackwells fake chocolate type stuff

I used to eat milk chocolate like it was my job, but now I can eat 1 piece of 72% Twilight Delight Ghiradelli chocolate (55 cal) and that does it for me.

It can be tough to convert over to dark chocolate (though it's healthier in the long run) so as far as milk chocolate goes, I think M&M's are one of the better options. I think it has less sugar than most other candies, though I think Peanut M&M's have even less sugar. Not sure about calories on those though.

I used to think dark chocolate was gross so I had to work on acquiring a taste for it. I started out by having dark Lindt chocolates and dark chocolate covered almonds and getting 60% (or some close percentage) Ghiradelli chocolate chips and eating those with walnuts.

Now that I've worked my way up, I love my 72% chocolates! I still love other candies, but it's easier to say no to them now. I especially love the dark chocolate with Smart Balance Smart n' Healthy popcorn. Yum!

But anything darker than 72% chocolate still tastes too bitter for me.

When I get the chocolate munchies, I go for either dark chocolate or chocolate covered almonds. The almonds are almost as good (to me at least) as a hersheys with almond bar.

The Trader Joe's 100 calorie chocolate bars are amazing and definitely satisfy the craving.

superstarcassie

Emerald dark chocolate roasted almonds in the 100 calorie packs- so delicious! (Just had some today)

try putting some nutella (hazelnut choc spread) on strawberries... i find that after 2 strawberries my choc craving has ceased..

i just got a mad case of 3pm sugar cravings at work, so i ate a small banana instead... still craving choc so i may just have some more water lol

I just made chocolate "mousse" by mixing greek yogurt with pure cocoa powder and stevia--mmm so creamy and decadent tasting yet nutritious! Pretty high protein too so a great dessert for work out days

Another idea is super low cal chocolate covered strawberries: strawberries sprinkled with pure cocoa powder (and stevia if strawberries are sour).

I've learned that, a craving for sugary foods is actually you body telling you you're dehydrated. Instead of trying to get a fix, drink some water. I've been trying this for a couple weeks now and I'm finding myself not desperately ripping my apartment in pieces to find chocolate (even during my cycle!).

I just had low fat cinonmon graham cracker with fat free cool whip in middle, freeze it and it's a sandwich. Yum! Helped my sweet tooth but crazy chocolate, just replace cinonmon Graham's for the chocolate ones

Have you tried vita-tops? They have them in some stores, or you can order them on-line. The chocolate flavors are sooo good, and only 100-120 calories. That's my go-to late night snack!

Yes! They really are delicious! I've tried FiberOne brownies and personally thought they were gross. Also, a little bowl of the chocolate Special K usually does the trick for me.

sunshine3737

I love skinny cow chocolates! They usually do the trick when I am craving chocolate. I also like chocolate frozen yogurt.

stephc0711

I like the Fiber One chocolate fudge brownies, they're only 90 calories!!

mom2mozart

Semi sweet chips. Eat a few. It takes the edge off.

RocioN24

try the natures valley granola thins crispy squares there only 80 calories. i like the dark chocolate. i just had two. thats how i fix my chocolate craving. i don't get them often but it helps

nickyrobinson

Hershey's dark chocolate kisses are 20 calories each. You need to be able to just eat a couple, but for me, the individually wrapped thing helps a bunch.
