    Try Hershey's Pure Dark Chocolate Squares.
    3 Squares = 160 cals

    They're yummy and a great way to indulge without throwing yourself off track.
    Sometimes just having one will do the trick!

    I eat it almost everyday. But I usually don't eat a whole candy bar, just a piece. And I usually get semi sweet or dark chocolate. :smile:

    This stuff is amazing!

    https://www.rawchocpie.co.uk/

    I tend to buy the chunks (20g) because its pretty hard not to eat a whole bar (60g) once you open it but the bars are better value... I experimented with the ingredients and I think 20g is about 120 calories: and completely satisfies my chocolate craving.

    This is as good/better for you than dark chocolate and I think it tastes better too. you do need a little self discipline though :)

    I had some yesterday at a 50th wedding anniversary party. Otherwise, I don't eat it. I just save for special occassions.

    Nearly every day. It doesn't actually have that many calories if you have a small quantity.

    Once I've broken the habit of eating chocolate (usually a Kit-Kat or Maltersers) every day I can actually go for days without needing it.

    My last chocolate was a slice of chocolate cake, celebrating the boyfriend's 50th birthday last Friday.

    I've discovered that my chocolate whey protein isolate powder tastes really good and I've been eating it with a spoon.

    I know, I fail :(

    I eat chocolate everyday.

    I don't understand why it not on the list of essential nutrients so I can track it.
    You know, just to make sure I'm getting my daily requirements met.

    When I started this diet I decided to have some chocolate or something I liked once a week, but I don't know if that's a good idea. If you want to lose weight you shouldn't have chocolate right? It's like a zillion calories. I heard you can have it if it fits into the calorie count...

    Monday is chocolate day. What do you think?

    It is only "zillions" of calories because people eat the wrong kind and in excess...ex: king size snickers bar.

    I eat chocolate almost daily. In the form of very dark or semi-sweet/bittersweet chocolate. It has antioxidant benefits and tastes pretty damn good. My figure is no worse for wear either.

    Saying you should "shouldn't eat" any particular food is kinda risky...making it a "bad" food or wandering into that black and white way of thinking is dangerous...eventually if you crave it bad enough you'll cave and eat it...and you're more likely to over-indulge.

    A little chocolate once in a while will not kill you.

    (I know I'll hear it from the anti-moderation crowd...but this is my personal opinion.)

    I am not big into restrictions beyond my caloric intake. If I feel that a 250 calorie candy bar is worth it I will eat it. Otherwise I make alternatives.

    And I see you've lost weight while doing it! :D

    Chocolate is fine if you eat it in smaller doses. Dont eat a snickers bar daily, but a piece of chocolate can be just what you need to stop cravings and overdoing it. I like to bake chocolate quinoa bars, its a dessert, but has healthy stuff in it too. Just a 1 inch bar does the trick.

    I eat Taste of Inspirations Authentic Belgian dark chocolate with orange almost every day. They're individually wrapped squares that have only 28 calories a piece.

    The bonus is that they have over 100% of your daily amount of iron... which I find I'm always low on if I don't have one.

    Eat it and log it in! So long as you are not going over your limits, you're fine! I no longer "need" a chocolate bar every time I check out at the grocery store, but enjoy cocoa dusted almonds, chocolate covered granola bars, or even splitting a candy bar with my daughter!!

    eat some dark chocolate, it's not as bad for you! as long as you have it in moderation you should be fine.

    I LOVE dark chocolate and usually have it when "aunt flo" comes into town ;)
