    Just have some chocolate. I find that when I try to substitute my cravings with other things, I just end up eating a bunch of substitutes. Then the calories add up to more than just satisfying the craving would've been.

    I will usually fix me a mug cake i cut the portions though and don't use eggs or oil, just about 2 teaspoons sugar or half packet of stevia 1 teaspoon cocoa powder and enough skim milk to mix it together

    I have found Light chocolate mousse to enjoy, I have chocolate milk often with breakfast cereal and muesli bars with choc chips for lunch sometimes, so you dont have to avoid it totally :)

    Chocolate. Dark chocolate is a great way to get your fix. It's healthier and usually lower calorie, especially if you get one that's not sweetened. Or even chocolate chips. 1 tbsp of unsweetened chocolate chips are only 60 calories. They're great frozen!

    I eat a protein bar! I buy Met-Rx big 100 brownies, and eat those occasionally for dessert or when low on calories

    I eat chocolate. The really dark stuff, 72% or 86%. You need less of it to cure the craving and it is better for you anyway.

    Dark chocolate has positive benefits... IN MODERATION!! Cacao nibs are also pretty delicious and beneficial.

    Is this a trick question :) ???

    CHOCOLATE.

    A piece of really nice chocolate. I keep dark chocolate at the house. A square or two usually does the trick. YUM.

    I don't waste cals on sub-par yucko chocolate such as a Nestle Crunch or some such. A square of dark totally satisfies. I don't like extreme dark. 60 -75% cacoa. Lindt & Ghiradelli are my go-to affordable faves.

    Seriously. I have found I TRULY have a taste for something - I need to have it. Otherwise, I will eat other stuff, then still come back to wanting what I was wanting to start with.

    If i'm craving chocolate and don't have any chocolate bars around, I'll probably make a cacao/banana/almond butter smoothie.

    I love Mrs. May's dark chocolate covered freeze-dried strawberries, and have some every evening.

    One of my favorite treats is to slice a banana, put the slices in a bowl and drizzle 1 TBSP of Hershey's chocolate syrup over the slices. I eat it with a fork and feel like I am cheating. It's wonderful!

    I love Kashi chocolate almond sea salt granola bars. But if you're craving chocolate, then EAT IT!!! Just have a little bit - maybe a couple Hershey Kisses or 1 of those teeny candy bars. Don't deny yourself.
