1 pound of fat = 3,500 calories,
so unless you are lying to yourself about how much chocolate you ate, you did not gain 1 pound of fat.0 -
A little bit of dark chocolate is good for you and has a number of health benefits. But agreed the ****ty chocolate with HFCS and other such artificial chemicals should be avoided.
But as others have said there are a number of variations that could have affected it you mention that your veg intake was slightly lower you could be lacking certain vitamins and minerals which are good for gut health plus they contain a lot of water.
My weight is so random i just ignore it now and look at pics, measurements instead0 -
I made it a personal choice to cut out sugar- mainly because it is toxic to our bodies

Wut? :frown:
It's true. It doesn't make you gain weight per say, unless you eat way over your calories. But specifically speaking of high fructose corn syrup and refined sugars are not good for our blood vessels. It's not the healthiest thing you can eat.
Oh, you've already replied. I love broscience!0 -
Just another vote for: 1 pound means nothing, unless those single pounds start to add up.
I eat chocolate several times a week, and it hasn't kept me from losing. (I'm typically only having 50-100 calories at a time though)0 -
add wine to that0

You can not gain actual weight as long as you are in a caloric deficit.
It's not the sugar "shocking" your body (wth anyways) and it's not you missing any veggies.
If you didn't go over your calorie allowance it's just a simple fluctuation. Don't stress over it.0 -
If it's from chocolate, then it's from it's sodium. So, water retention, not fat.0

Sugar isn't toxic.
Your weight will vary by a few pounds from day to day or from week to week - entirely normal.
Eating a tiny amount of any food isn't going to add a pound of fat.
Calm down and carry on.0 -
add wine to that
You are adding the wine to the chocolate right??? Cause that is certainly VERY GOOD for the soul!!0 -

The approximate amount of chocolate you would need to eat in proportion to body size to gain a pound (just from chocolate):
