Am I allowed to eat chocolate or something sweet as long as I stay in my calorie count for the day? (I know I AM allowed because it's my body but you know what I mean:') like does it matter if I have something sweet even though I am under my days calorie count??

    You can have whatever you want as long as it's in your calorie allowance.

    Life isn't worth living without chocolate. Eat what you want as long as it's under your calorie goal and as long as it's not an every meal/every snack thing. Those sugars can catch up with you.

    Dark chocolate has a good percentage of iron in it. It's practically a health food :drinker:

    Yes. I eat dark chocolate every day. My favorite is Chocolove orange peel in dark chocolate. Not only is it delicious and I love the texture from the crunchy bits of orange peel, it helps me meet my nutrients for the day. Three little squares have 4 g fiber, 1 g protein, 6.5% of US RDA for vitamin C, 1% calcium, and 2.5% iron. All that for only 75 calories, 5 g fat, and 6.5 g sugar.

    I very rarely eat milk chocolate, though, because it is not as healthy and I tend to eat a lot more of it because the flavor is so much weaker.

    You know it, girl. I eat Dark Chocolate every stinkin' day. I usually have 1 square during the day and like 1 at night, perhaps with a glass of wine if I am feeling fancy.

    Dark chocolate is best, preferably something, say, 70% or darker. Dark chocolate has less sugar in and is surprisingly packed with healthy fats and fiber and nutrients. If you are used to milk chocolate, try acquiring the taste for dark chocolate by steadily increasing your cocoa percentage.

    It's an indulgent treat you really don't have to feel guilty about in moderation.
