Hi I'm am a chocolateholic and I crave brownies and chocolate a couple times a week. I was just wondering what people have found to eat that satisfy chocolate craving but doesnt cause you to gain weight.

    I eat chocolate. I just make sure I have room for it in my calorie goal.

    Chocolate doesn't cause weight gain, excess cals do. No reason you can't save some cals for chocolate and still make progress.

    Small quantities of really dark chocolate (minimum 70%).

    Homemade chocolate mousse: 1/2 c Low fat ricotta cheese, 2 T black cocoa, 1 tsp espresso powder, a bit of sweetener and a couple of T of half and half spun in a food processor until silky (yum :love: )

    I love chocolate too and I make sure that I have enough extra calories at the end of my day to enjoy my popcorn and sweet snack for the day. Usually ice cream or a fiber one brownie will do but sometimes I just have to have a candy bar, usually a snickers lol

    I have some chocolate. I usually have a few M&M's a day or a snack size chocolate. I find it easier to stay on track when I do this.

    Green & Blacks Organic Dark (85%) Chocolate. You only need a little to crush the chocolate craving (or get the chocolate high) and it's not too high in calories.

    It depends on whether I want real chocolate (Green and Black's 85%) or candy (M&M's). I have a square of chocolate or a few M&M's, count them, and enjoy!

    Yup!

    I buy chocolate protein powder to help and sugar free fudge pops or sugar free snack packs

    A few m&m's & for general sweet cravings I eat a baked yam (plain not butter etc.). It's filling & takes away the craving
