Pre-log your chocolate. Or opt for a chocolate protein bar... Oh Yeah and Grenade make pretty good ones.3

Thank you guys0

Try the Rx Bar -Chocolate Sea Salt- they're made with all natural chocolate and egg white proteins. Good stuff and a cure for the sweet tooth that also has 12g of protein. They aren't bad tasting like most protein bars, which I hate personally lol.2

Just eat the chocolate and log it. I deprive myself of nothing and rarely do I substitute. I just adjust my calories to what I want to eat.6

I had a lovely chocolate dessert tonight. 150 grams of Skyr (Icelandic yogurt) with 8 grams unsweetened cocoa powder, and about a gram of canderel sweetener. It sorted my chocolate craving and helped me hit my protein target4

I'll put a serving of chocolate chips in my yogurt desert to get my fix and still reap the benefits the yogurt, I just plan and log accordingly.3

the brownie batter hummus is really good, I eat it with apple slices or teddy grahams4
-
My new favorite thing is strawberries drizzled with chocolate syrup and some whipped cream on top. Feels indulgent, but easily fits into daily calories.5

No Pudge Brownie Mix makes great low calorie brownies. Comes in all sorts of flavors too (original, mint, raspberry, cappuccino). Only thing that sucks is you most likely have to order through Amazon as most stores no longer carry it.1

Dark
Chocolate is good as you only need a small bit. Or try halva it’s very sweet and you only need a small bit also3 -
If you're craving chocolate regularly, you may be low in magnesium. I was a chocolate addict before I started taking magnesium daily (250 - 1000 mg/day). Now, I only eat a piece once in a while and I can stop at just one or two pieces. Americans are often low in magnesium which also can help your bowel movements. You'll know if you've taken too much.
Regarding the snack, prunes and plums sweet and low in calories. Halva is delicious but definitely not low in calories (at least the sesame based halva).
And sometimes, you should just eat the chocolate, especially dark chocolate. Try to use the higher quality chocolate that is full of cocoa butters but not as high in sugar.

Oikos pure zero Greek yogurt (vanilla), a few strawberry’s, half a banana sliced, a few blueberries, and a tiny bit of real granola is so yum and not too bad for you.2
-
I agree with those that said 2 small squares of dark chocolate and of course the greek yoghurt Strawberries are low cals too. I am a coffee lover so go for coffee too.1

You guys are awesome thank you1

I make my own cacao bliss balls. They have dates, oats, coconut and cacao (but can use coco powder). They are really yum and taste like chocolate and less than 150 calories each. Can also add penut butter for variation. I freeze mine so I don't over eat them.2

I try to fit in full size treats a couple of times a week (ice cream or chocolate or maybe pie/donut)...but when I don't, and still have a chocolate craving, I find that eating a few (like 8-15) semisweet chocolate chips and maybe the same number of raisins and/or unsalted roasted peanuts, is pretty low calorie and satisfies me very well. I would say surprisingly well. I know it sounds silly but it's almost like I have tricked myself into thinking I ate this:

I just made chocolate rolls with two ingredient dough and dark chocolate. Totally yum at 80 calories and 4 protein each. 2 at a time would do it.

Go for a run, save up those extra calories and have a chocolate bar. As long as you stay in your caloric recommendations, there is nothing wrong with a Snickers.3
