    I really like Dark Chocolate roasted almonds. They are the same nutritionally as regular almonds and they taste great!

    I'm a huge fan of cocoa roast almonds, too (particularly in the 100 calorie packs, since I'm pretty limited on will power.)

    I find chocolate soya milk helps relieve the craving, and they vary in sweetness depending on which you like

    I eat the chocolate!!! A high Quality High Cocoa content chocolate. No less that 55% but usually 65% or more. It IS GOOD FOR YOU!!! I love it and eat it when I crave it. Just in small bits!!

    My best advice is to eat fruit. It is very sweet, and despite high in sugar, these are natural sugars and fat free. I suggest apples, even dipped in caramel. This is help dramatically. Chocolate is high in calories, fat, and sugar. You may want to look into dark chocolate, it is very high in antioxidants :)

    I am a HUGE choco-holic! I've been filling that need with smoothies. 1/2 banana, some frozen unsweetened strawberries, 1/4 cup almond milk, chocolate whey protein powder, hershey's cocoa powder, packet of truvia, and vanilla extract. Blend it up! I swap in greek yogurt and different fruits too.

    That is great advice, seriously, but sometimes fruit just doesn't cut it when you are craving chocolate!

    I like the Quaker Dipps chocolate dipped granola bars. Like a candy bar, and around 150 kcals!

    Chocolate is my greatest weakness! I've found I do well if I buy a bag of dark chocolate chips and just eat a 1/4th a cup if I have a craving. It's not all decked out like a candy bar, so I can eat a little and be satisfied with it. Sometimes you just have to have your chocolate! :bigsmile:

    I say if you have a chocolate craving eat something chocolate that you truly enjoy, just eat it in moderation- otherwise you will feel unsatisfied!

    Read that one cause of cravings for chocolate was due to low amounts of magnesium, could possibly try to up that and maybe your cravings will drop. Have not tried it myself but with all the multivitamins I take i believe my amts are up there and I haven't had chocolate in the past 3 weeks since starting my training/diet.

    *If all else doesn't work, stick with the dark possibly with some sort of nuts; makes you feel fuller so you don't keep eating.

    I eat dark chocolate, usually 70% or above. It's not bad for you and it curbs the craving!

    i wouldn't recommend any type of chocolate candy bars.... geez... no one here said how important it is to stay away from any refined sugar. dark chocolate - definitely recommended... what about dark chcolate chips... can you toss 2-3 of those inyour mouth?

    chocolate chips... 1 TBS 70 Calories.... eat one at a time, let them melt in your mouth... 1 TBS is more than you think... lasts me a good 10 minutes anyway, enough to kill my chocolate craving. ;)
