What do you eat when you have chocolate cravings?

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 )

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!

I love milky way's or a little bag of peanut m&m's

asp415

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

I love chocolate. I need chocolate (at certain times). I always have Brookside Dark chocolate Acai Blueberry or Pomegranates handy. 90 Cals per pack.

Jell-O Dark Chocolate Sugar Free Pudding Cups. I think they are like 60 calories and delicious.

I eat chocolate. I don't over indulge, I make sure I have room for it. I try to keep Dove milk chocolate induvidual pieces in the house. If I only have room for one, that's all I get. If I have room for more, I'll eat more. If I'm craving a brownie I'll eat it. Same concept, I eat what my calories allow.

a good quality Dark Chocolate... more satisfying than cheap stuff.

kikicooks

I eat it. I just try to keep it in my calorie goal. Dark chocolate is probably the healthiest option for chocolate but sometimes I just need a Twix, Rees'e PB cups or something like that. Chocolate chip peanut butter Larabars are delish!

I eat chocolate. I keep a stash of assorted minis. For brownie craving I have a fiber one chocolate brownie for only 90 calories. On days I feel like chocolate I do an extra workout to burn a little more and earn extra calories.

Well let's see yesterday I had a kit kat bar and a hershey's bar. I love the cookies and cream hershey bar and the drops too. Lindor Lindt white chocolate balls are amazing. Milky Way, Twix, Caramello, I love chocolate!!!

I keep a Dove dark chocolate bar in my desk at work for when I have a craving. I usually take 2 squares and it does the trick. I didn't like dark chocolate in the past but I find that if it's milk chocolate, I would eat the entire bar so I started using the dark to satisfy that urge and it works well. I've actually started to like it. I crave brownies a lot too! I love some brownies! I haven't tried it, but I hear there's a recipe for black bean brownies that are awesome. Google it. :flowerforyou:

Hersheys special dark cocoa powder mixed into anything! It's 10 cals per tbsp., huge chocolate taste, and full of antioxidants and iron. I put a few tbsp. is my protein powder, coffee, almond milk (for cocoa), in the blender with frozen bananas for a better than icecream treat. Anywhere. I don't even eat "chocolate" anymore, but I get my chocolate fix every day.

This just may be a personal preference but when I get cravings for sweet stuff I munch on some strawberries, pineapple, mangoes...natural sugar!

I absolutely frickin' love chocolate, though, so when I crave I eat a few blocks of dark chocolate...it's between 70-90% cocoa. I find if you eat a little piece in the morning, you won't have sugar cravings for the rest of the day.
