CHOCOLATE.

I am not such a huuuuge chocolate fan but I do like it a lot and get cravings for it every few days.

Cadbury's Highlights hot chocolate sachets are only 40 calories and they are SO sweet and chocolately. And last ages because they're hot. So you spend a good 20-30 mins drinking them. This is my fave option when I really feel like I need chocolate.

Otherwise...go for snack bars of chocolate. I had a Galaxy snack bar the other day for 133 calories (look in my food diary, think it was Tuesday night).

Btw chocolate isn't that bad for ya - as long as it fits into your calorie allowance, why not?? Everyone has a vice x

I found Green & Black's 85% cocoa dark chocolate. It's extremely rich, so six squares go a long way for me and fit very well into my diet. I've started eating them with a little peanut butter, too.

I don't crave any other chocolate when I eat that and I just don't keep anything else in the house.

I second the hot chocolate advice! X

I was a major chocoholic and still am. On Christmas, Valentine's & Easter I can finish multiple boxes of chocolate in one day if given the opportunity! A few years ago I would go to Laura Secord every day after school & sometimes buy chocolate bars & chocolate drumstick ice cream at night. I cannot even buy a small bar of dark chocolate because I can't "only eat 3 squares," I will eventually eat the whole thing in 1 night >___>

What helps me:

1. Chocolate smoothie (315 cal)
- Microwave 1 cup soymilk (70 cal)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (20 cal)
- 1 tbsp Nutella (100 cal)
- 1/2 banana (55 cal)
- Splenda (0 cal)
- 10 almonds, grounded (70 cal)
- vanilla extract (0 cal)
- then add ice cubes & put in blender

(The reason you heat the milk is so that the cocoa powder dissolves into it. It'll stay in dry clumps if you don't. You can also take out the banana & almonds to lower the calories).

2. Nutella/Almond treat
- In a tiny bowl, 1 tbsp of Nutella poured on top of 10 almonds, and then microwave for 20 seconds. Comes out nice & melty, and is only 170 calories.

3. A simple homemade hot chocolate (90 cal)
- 1 cup heated soymilk (70 cal)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (20 cal)
- Splenda to taste (0 cal)

4. Nutella on whole wheat toast (180 cal)
- 1 tbsp Nutella (100 cal)
- whole wheat toast (90 cal)

I eat two squares of 80% dark chocolate (lindt) a day...YUM!!!

I am a chocolate addict. im better off not eating it. if i have some i wont be able to stop. i better off fighting the craving

I eat 200 cals of choc a day too. Half after lunch and the other half after tea. I cut it out while I was on 1200 cals per day but now I am on 1450 cals it is firmly back and I have no intention of cutting it out!
