Ok so I am a self confessed choco-holic. I have been known to eat chocolate for breakfast in the past! I find that after my evening meal I always crave chocolate pretty much straight away, but now that I'm trying to lose weight I wanna find some different ways to get that sweet fix without overloading on calories. Any ideas??

    eat one square of a bar.

    or Jello makes these chocolate mousse cups for 90 cals.

    OR add chocolate protein powder to milk or hot water to make hot chocolate.

    I have two pieces of dove chocolate almost every night. Yes I am able to stop myself and they are my little treat at about 80 calories for the two pieces

    My husband and daughter are choco-holics also. After dinner they enjoy their chocolate but have one piece of dark chocolate with hazelnuts to satisfy their sweet tooth. All in moderation.

    Try really dark chocolate-- the chocolate flavor is really rich and concentrated and it's not super sweet so it doesn't make you crave more sweets after you eat it. I also like chocolate bars with a little bit of savor flavor-- Lindt makes a great bar that has a touch of sea salt, and they also have a chili flavor. I can usually (!) force myself to stop eating after 1 or 2 squares with those.

    I eat Ghiradella Twilight Delight chocolate squares. I buy a bag of them and trained myself to only have one at a time. Some days I'll have more than one, but usually it does the trick, and there's only around 70 calories in a single square. The darker the chocolate, the better it is for you and this stuff is like 76% dark chocolate - any higher and it starts to taste like chalk and not really do it for me!

    It takes a little training but you can get to where you just have one piece of something and it'll satisfy your craving.

    Skinny cow clusters at 120 calories a packet. OR plain M&Ms: 34 calories per 10 M&Ms. Eat slowly and savor the chocolate flavor; I find that calms down my cravings. I've also been (occasionally) having a chocolate croissant for breakfast (clocks in at 237 calories according to MFP: Generic Chocolate Croissant).

    Try dark chocolate that is 75% or higher. I like Lindt 85%. I felt like I could have eaten an entire pan of brownies last night. One square of dark chocolate took care of that!

    Bump! I would like to read more responses :) A square of dark chocolate or some chocolate chips usually do it for me. It is hard to limit though, I must admit!!

    I usually get my chocolate fix with some protein powder after a workout. It takes away my craving for chocolate milk =-P

    I put nutella and cream cheese on whole wheat toast and it feels (IMO) like I am eating chocolate cheesecake....I just use small portions of the nutella and cream cheese....

    I too LOVE the Fiber One Chocolate Brownie which is only 90 calories. I also love the new Nature Valley granola with dark chocolate squares, which are 60 calories.

    I just discovered 100 calorie packs of dark chocolate almonds from Blue Diamond. Gives me my chocolate fix, plus healthy almonds!
